The error has nothing to do with WS-Eventing.

The complaint is about this:

  <wsdl:operation name="IncidentNotification">
    <wsdl:output message="tns:IncidentNotificationMsg" />
  </wsdl:operation> 

which means the server (input/output is with respect to the server)
can sent notifications which the client needs to handle. Client-side,
you can only handle these notifications if you have an event-driven
implementation.  The XML::Compile implementation is not event-driven,
so cannot handle these.

However, on the other hand, the server may never send these notifications
even though the WSDL tells you it may. Should we change the error into
a warning?
