WS-I Compliance Continued

Stefan elaborates a bit on his concerns. However, as I indicated, it isn't necessary to separate out the abstract and concrete aspects of the WSDL. You simply annotate the bits that conform. e.g.

<wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl" 

  xmlns:tns="http://example.org/myservice"

  xmlns:soapbind="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap"

  xmlns:wsi="http://ws-i.org/schemas/conformanceClaim/"

  targetNamespace="http://example.org/myservice"> 

  <wsdl:portType name="MyPortType"> 

      <wsdl:documentation>

        <wsi:Claim 

         conformsTo="http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1" />

      </wsdl:documentation>

      ... 

  </wsdl:portType> 

  <wsdl:binding name="MyBinding" portType="tns:MyPortType" > 

      ... 

  </wsdl:binding> 

  <wsdl:service name="MyService" > 

    <wsdl:port name="MyPort" binding="tns:MyBinding" > 

      <wsdl:documentation>

        <wsi:Claim 

         conformsTo="http://ws-i.org/Profiles/SimpleSoapBinding/1.0" />

      </wsdl:documentation>

      <soapbind:address  

       location="http://example.org/myservice/myport" />

    </wsdl:port> 

    <wsdl:port name="MyPort" binding="tns:MyBinding" > 

      <soapbind:address  

       location="http://example.org/myservice/mynonConformantPort" />

    </wsdl:port> 

  </wsdl:service> 

</wsdl:definitions>

This should work. YMMV.
