PM55007: RSA4WS:UML to WSDL, JNPE element executing source org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This is a namespace prefix conflict problem. The namespace
  prefix for wsdl is generated as tns and the namespace prefix for
  the 'Create Snapshot' schema  used by the Service
  Interface(source of the transform) is also set as tns in the
  stereotype property.I think the same prefix is used within the
  schema tags in the wsdl file as well and this causes problem
  when the wsdl files and schemas are finally persisted in the
  end.The problem happens during the fetch of QName qualifier for
  the xsd request element.The issue is in the eclipse xsd code,
  since there are two namespace(conflict) with the same prefix it
  always resolves it to the namespace of wsdl as parent and not
  the xsd namespace due to which the right QNames could not be
  fetched and it ends with the NPE.

  tns is the default namespace prefix used by WSDL and if the
  same namespace prefix was being used by the inline schemas
  within the WSDL to refer to schema with namespace prefix as
  tns.
  

Problem conclusion

• tns is the default namespace prefix used by WSDL and if the
  same namespace prefix is used by the schemas referred within
  the WSDL then the inline schema should not use the same
  namespace prefix(i.e. tns) as it is.This is because it
  causes conflicts with WSDL namespace, and during element
  lookup for the xsd element the WSDL namespace is always used
  and the  correct XSD namespace is never found. This results
  in JNPE during lookup.See WI 85851 for more details.Hence
  using tns1 instead of tns when tns is encountered within
  inline schema.
