@We         


        

Answer 1

AFAIK it ist not possible to have JAX generate a WSDL with schemas inline.

BTW: Separating the WSDL definition and the XSD schema is a good move (you might want to use the object structure defined by the schema in a different context e.g. storing data to files or something like that).

That said: If you need an "all in one" WSDL (because some ancient client requires it) you can always have jax-ws generate the WSDL initially and then edit it to your heart's content. The edited WSDL can be included using the wsdlLocation parameter of the @WebService annotation.
