Hi all, I have witten an schema (XSD) using key and keyref elements.
This XSD has been tested successfully with some XML files.
The problem is that when I add this XSD to a WSDL (copy-paste) wrong
soap instances (XML instances in the context of XSD) are validated OK
when they do not fit the keyref constraint (the validation occurs when
calling a WS generated with WSDL2Java)

The XSD  is:

One example of soap message that is validated but is acceptated with
WSDL (the xml acceptated by XSD is the same without soap-specific
elements):

soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:hot="http://localhost:8080/hotelres">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
     <hot:contract id="A">
        <hot:roomtypes>
           <hot:roomtype code="AA"/>
        </hot:roomtypes>
        <hot:sizes>
           <hot:size>
              <hot:RoomtypeReferences>
                 <hot:RoomtypeReference code="CC"/>
              </hot:RoomtypeReferences>
           </hot:size>
        </hot:sizes>
     </hot:contract>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


Thanks in advance,
Pau.
