SERVICES 

I am trying to import a fairly complicated XML schema into my WSDL 
file so that I can use types defined there as types for the 
parameters I want to pass to and from my web service.  I run into a 
few issues:
First, how do I import multiple schemas from one targetNamespace?  
My tools are supposedly WSDL 1.1 compliant and the WSDL 1.1 spec. 
mentions in the appendix that multiple schemas from the same 
targetNamespace is valid, but my WebSphere client gives me a parsing 
error when reading the WSDL saying duplicate namespace identified.
Second, when using an XML type as a parameter type, how should the 
data actually look on the wire?  I fear this may be an encoding 
issue because my server may not support literal encoding and so I am 
bound to specify soap encoding.  The problem is when not using the 
WSDL I can pass string-ified, literal XML to the SOAP message 
building API and everything works fine.  But, when I try to use the 
WSDL with the same string-ified XML I get a parsing error on my 
server.  I can see from ethernet captures that when using the WSDL 
the wire format of the SOAP mesasge is encoded differently than when 
not using the WSDL.  If I use the xsd:string type should the data be 
translated to the wire differently?  I'm interested in learning how 
XML data types are "supposed" to be translated in SOAP+WSDL.  Any 
discussion on the specifics of using WSDLs with complex XSD types 
would be greatly appreciated.

in my wsdl...
