[Xml-compile] Accessing schemaLocation attribute url values inside <include> elements

[Morad IGMIR]

Hi Mark, thanks for your answer.

>In general (>50% of the WSDLs), these schemaLocations are wrong.

You're right. 
I find that to be specifically true with MS web services
And don't even mention their dummy SOAPAction headers. 
Meh.

I did not think about the possibility of multiple schemas.
Thanks for the heads up.

True, and I did initially.
but I have multiple SOAP services and clients, 
calling each other from quite a few different places.

The problem with the glob(*.xsd) approach was file distribution.

I had to remember to put a copy of the right set of files in the right
directory.
Copy all of them, on all servers (or svn update them all, if you will) 
whenever I had a minor update to make. Then there were times I'd forget to
update one, 
and kept wondering why things wouldn't work.

And that, is IMO, way too fastidious.

Using automatic internet fetching makes file distribution easy.
Only one set of wsdl/xsd per service, accessible through one url each.

It considerably lessened my margin of error
