Does Oxygen XML support WSDL 2.0?

I can't walidate WSDL 2.0 documents with it.

Hi,

For the moment Oxygen does not have built-in support for WSDL 2.0.
We provide built-in support for WSDL 1.1 with both SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 extensions.
We already have logged in a feature request to implement builtin support for WSDL 2.0.

In the meantime you can try to save locally the WSDL 2.0 XML schema located at: http://www.w3.org/2004/03/wsdl/ and associate to the WSDL 2.0 file by adding an "xsi:schemaLocation" attribute pointing to the local WSDL2.0 schema.
Make sure that the xmlns:wsdl attribute is bound to "http://www.w3.org/2004/03/wsdl" and you should have content completion and validation with the WSDL 2.0 schema

I have done that, it's ok.

This is what I added: When do you expect that WSDL 2.0 will be built-in in Oxygen XML?
Will that be a new version of Oxygen XML or update?

Hi,

Full support for WSDL 2.0 will probably be added in a future version.
I think we can add validation and content completion support fairly easy and this should be accomplished in a 9.x minor version.
But analyzing the WSDL and building the SOAP request from it needs to be studied further.
I'm sorry but I cannot offer a definite time line for this.
Probably around Oxygen version 10.

I am little bit in a dilemma.

I wanted to buy Oxygen XML Editor in a february probably, but because of not yet suporting WSDL 2.0 I am not sure should I wait for future version or not.

Hi,

Probably validation and content completion for WDSL 2.0 will be available in the next minor release (couple of months) as it is relatively easy to do.

But for analyzing WSDL 2.0 files and generating sample SOAP requests from it will take more time as for the moment we lack the tools necessary to analyze WSDL 2.0 files.
It will probably not get done in the next year.
