Obtaining XML Schema information regarding a MessagePart

I am using the soapui API to inspect a WSDL and then display information about Request MessageParts for a given Operation.

I would like to find out about the XML Schema for the MessagePart.

For example, in soapUI Pro, in Form view, I can see a pull down for choices: A, B, C in a Request parameter because this parameter (MessagePart) was defined as a simpleType as such: 


<simpleType name="elementString">
   <restriction base="xsd:string">
      <enumeration value="A"/>
      <enumeration value="B"/>
      <enumeration value="C"/>
   </restriction>
</simpleType>


I would like to provide an interface similar to this in my application.
Will I have to use xmlbeans? Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the source available for soapUI Pro (I'm assuming it is not)?.

    Hi,

    you are correct in both regards:

    1) use XMLBeans SchemaType related classes/functionality to find this information
    2) soapUI Pro source is not available

    :-)

    Good Luck!

    Hi Ole,

    I am now able to obtain schema information using XMLBeans as you described. 

    How do you make the linkage between the MessagePart and its Schema?
    Use the getPartType() method and then do a String match with the items found by the SchemaTypeSystem.getGlobalTypes()?

    I've figured it out.


    MessagePart[] messageParts = operation.getDefaultRequestParts();
    for (MessagePart mp : messageParts) {
        WsdlContentPart wcp = (WsdlContentPart)mp;
        SchemaType sType = wcp.getSchemaType();
    }
