Error loading valid WSDL file

Hello everyone,

loading a valid and given WSDL from a service gives some error code in soapUI:

Error: maxOccurs must not be less than minOccurs.
Error: An all group can contain only element particles with maxOccurs = 1

Is that for some reason avoidable. I wish to generate stub files and simulator?

Best regards,
Alex Fitterling

    Hi Alex,

    Are you able to provide the WSDL please? Something does not sound right.

    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    thanks for your kind offer. Actually I retrieved the WSDL from link directly:

    http://seamlesslywiredcom.plenty-test-d ... on106/?xml
    (It is a PlentyMarket SOAP-API)

    I really appreciate your help.

    Hopefully I did nothing wrong receiving the file via wget and with link parameter above.

    Can I do something, e.g. force supressing the errors, etc... ?

    Sincerely,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Unfortunately, the WSDL is not valid. There's a whole bunch of validation errors thrown, but the first instance relates to the 'maxOccur' attribute being used on <xsd:element> elements (starting with Username on line 7, then 8... 12, 13, 24, 25 etc). In fact, there's over 2300 instances of this. And then there's the 'minOccurs' attribute on line 3705 which shouldn't be there.

    I'd have a word with the developer!

    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    one more. I haven't filled in the content yet. Means the specific system behind the WSDL runs with empty data.
    As I state you, it is the WSDL-Format/Structure that is invalid?
    Right?
    Unbelievable. (and not you actually)
    Sincerely,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    You're welcome. Feel free to give me a shout on LinkedIn. I'm reluctant to get involved with the support ticket personally, as I'm merely advising here (and have my own job/projects to work on), but by all means keep me in the loop on their response.

    In short, the WSDL itself is not valid. It contains a number of issues relating to the use of 'minOccurs' and 'maxOccur'. Ask them to run it through an XML validator (XML Spy for example), and they'll see.

    Kind regards,
    Tim
