er001 Composability issue with AP 1.0 -- R2301

Description
The order of the elements in soap:Body are not necessarily the same as that of the wsdl:part in the wsdl:message that describes it, but the wordings of R2301 require it to be the same. This results in a composability problem with AP 1.0, since AP 1.0 does not require that all the wsdl:parts be bound to soap:Body.
Resolution: 2004-12-14

Amend R2301 by appending the phrase:

"for each of the wsdl:part elements bound to the envelope's corresponding soapbind:body element"

R2301 now reads as follows:

R2301 The order of the elements in the soap:Body of an ENVELOPE MUST be the same as that of the wsdl:parts in the wsdl:message that describes it for each of the wsdl:part elements bound to the envelope's corresponding soapbind:body element.

er002 Section 4.7.21 WSDL example has extraneous message attribute and a trailing "/" in the value of the transport attribute

Description
The WSDL example in Section 4.7.21 has an extra message attribute on the input element which is the grandchild of the binding element. The same example has an incorrect value for the transport attribute of the soapbind:binding element.
Resolution: 2004-12-14

Amend example in Section 4.7.21 by removing the message attribute on the input element which is the grandchild of the binding element and by removing the trailing "/" in the value of the transport attribute of the soapbind:binding element.

The WSDL in the example is now as follows:

<definitions xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:soapbind="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar/" targetNamespace="http://example.org/bar/" xmlns:foo="http://example.org/foo/"> <types> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://example.org/foo/" xmlns:tns="http://example.org/foo/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xsd:complexType name="fooType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref="tns:bar"/> <xsd:element ref="tns:baf"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:element name="bar" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="baf" type="xsd:integer"/> </xsd:schema> </types> <message name="BarMsg"> <part name="BarAccessor" type="foo:fooType"/> </message> <portType name="BarPortType"> <operation name="BarOperation"> <input message="bar:BarMsg"/> </operation> </portType> <binding name="BarSOAPBinding" type="bar:BarPortType"> <soapbind:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="rpc"/> <operation name="BarOperation"> <input> <soapbind:body use="literal" namespace="http://example.org/bar/"/> </input> </operation> </binding> <service name="serviceName"> <port name="BarSOAPPort" binding="bar:BarSOAPBinding"> <soapbind:address location="http://example.org/myBarSOAPPort"/> </port> </service> </definitions>

er003 Messages encoded in both UTF-8 and UTF-16 and UDDI

Description
Section 5 of Basic Profile 1.0 says that -- "Note that the Web services that constitute UDDI V2 are not fully conformant with the Profile 1.0 because they do not accept messages encoded in both UTF-8 and UTF-16 as required by the Profile. (They accept UTF-8 only.) " This should really say that the message is encoded in either UTF-8 or UTF-16 and refer to Profile 1.1 not Profile 1.0.
Resolution: 2005-09-06

Replace the following sentence in Section 5:

Note that the Web services that constitute UDDI V2 are not fully conformant with the Profile 1.0 because they do not accept messages encoded in both UTF-8 and UTF-16 as required by the Profile.

with:

Note that the Web services that constitute UDDI V2 are not fully conformant with the Profile because they do not accept messages encoded in either UTF-8 or UTF-16 as required by the Profile.

er004 E0013 excludes extension attributes

Description
E0013 - WSDL extensions - mentions extension elements but not extention attributes
Resolution: 2004-12-14

Amend E0013 by adding:

"and attributes"

after:

"extension elements"

E0013 now reads as follows:

E0013 - WSDL extensions - WSDL allows extension elements and attributes in certain places; use of such extensions requires out-of-band negotiation.

er005 Is SOAP fault allowed with HTTP Client Error Status Codes?

Description
BP1.1 Section 3.4.6 specifies the use of a few HTTP Client Error Status Codes. However it does not specify the content of HTTP body and it's not clear whether a soap fault is allowed.
Resolution: 2004-07-26

Append Section 3.4.6 HTTP Client Error Status Codes with the following text:

Also note that SOAP 1.1, Section 6.2 requires that SOAP Fault can only be returned with HTTP 500 "Internal Server Error" code. This profile doesn't change that requirement. When HTTP 4xx error status code is used, the response message should not contain a SOAP Fault.

er006 Child elements of the soap:Body

Description
While the combination of R2201 and R2210 clearly imply that theremay be at most one child element of the soap:Body, there is no explicit requirement in the Profile that articulates this constraint, leading to some confusion.
Resolution: 2005-10-25

Add a new requirement to Section 3.1.1 SOAP Envelope Structure as follows:

While the combination of R2201 and R2210 (below) clearly imply that there may be at most one child element of the soap:Body, there is no explicit requirement in the Profile that articulates this constraint, leading to some confusion.

R9981 An ENVELOPE MUST have exactly zero or one child elements of the soap:Body element.

er007 URIs for normative WSDL and WSDL SOAP schema conforming to the Profile

Description
The URIs listed for the normative schemas for the WSDL and WSDL SOAP binding schemas are incorrect.
Resolution: 2005-10-25

Amend the content of 4.2.1 WSDL Schema Definitions to read as follows:

The normative schemas for WSDL appearing in Appendix 4 of the WSDL 1.1 specification have inconsistencies with the normative text of the specification. The Profile references new schema documents that have incorporated fixes for known errors.

R2028 A DESCRIPTION using the WSDL namespace (prefixed "wsdl" in this Profile) MUST be valid according to the XML Schema found at "http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/wsdl-2004-08-24.xsd".

R2029 A DESCRIPTION using the WSDL SOAP binding namespace (prefixed "soapbind" in this Profile) MUST be valid according to the XML Schema found at "http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/wsdlsoap-2004-08-24.xsd".

er008 Location of SOAP envelope schema consistent with the Profile

Description
As a convenience, the schema for the SOAP envelope consistent with the profile should be hosted from the WS-I.org site.
Resolution: 2005-10-25

Replace the URI in Section 3.3.5 SOAP Fault Language with the following:

"http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/soap-envelope-2004-01-21.xsd"

er001	Composability issue with AP 1.0 -- R2301
