Error importing wsdl

Hi all

I am trying to use SoapUI for the first time. I have created a project, and am trying to "Add WSDL" in order to test a web service that I need to call in a project I am on.

Now, when I enter the path to the web serviceI get a message box stating:
com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Error importing wsdl

Nothing more is written, which makes it hard to find the error. Can I turn on some logging, or in any way get a better error description so I know what to look for?

Thanks.

    Right - hadn't noticed the "soapUI log" and "error log" at the bottom right. So, this is the information from the soapUI log:

    Tue Jan 26 10:28:44 CET 2010:ERROR:Loading of definition failed for [REPLACED_BY_ELIASEN/ValidateUserWS?WSDL]; javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException (at /definitions/types/ns0:schema): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered illegal extension element '{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}schema' in the context of a 'javax.wsdl.Types'.

    Tue Jan 26 10:28:44 CET 2010:ERROR:An error occured [Error importing wsdl], see error log for details

    and this is the error from the error log:

    Hi

    As a matter of fact, I did solve it, but I am having trouble remembering how. I seem to recall that the wsdl was simply faulty. I downloaded the wsdl and changed some element to not have a namespace prefix and tried again, and I seem to remember that it worked.

    Anyway, we have later on moved to another web service which is generated from a newer version of JDeveloper which doesn't create faulty wsdl files.

    Sorry I can't be of more help.

    Hello! Please help! I am getting an error when attempting to Add WSDL. I have 3 wsdl's to test. I love your app and I really want this to work!
    Thank you

    You must log in to be able to access the wsdl on our site. Am I having an authentication problem? Is there a help file or doc you could direct me to re: setting up authentication PRIOR to adding a wsdl?
    I really need this to work and appreciate any help. thx

        Ok the error by me was:

        portType was written porttype 

        and

        targetNamespace was written targetnamespace

         

        I correct it to the camelCase Version.

    I cannot import a wsdl in Soap UI 3.6.1 too on a windows 7 x64 system. It's working all good with soapUI 2.5 and Win XP..... what's wrong?

    I too have Windows 7 64-bit. I have been using the standalone soapUI desktop application (v3.5) for some time now with no problems. Today I installed the soapUI Eclipse plugin (v3.6.1) and it gives the following error when I try to import a wsdl:

    com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException error importing wsdl

    The underlying problem appears to be

    java.lang.Exception: java.io.CharConversionException: Malformed UTF-8 character: 0xfc 0x68 0x72 0x74

    Not sure why the plugin v3.6.1 is balking at the same wsdl that standalone v3.5 imports with no problem. Perhaps the newer version has a bug.

      I had the same problem and to resolve this I have  removed "&" .

       

      Try to remove all "&" from WSDL
