Notes

  • Enterprise Architect cannot import a WSDL file that references WSDL constructs existing outside that file; if there are referenced constructs in other files, combine all files into a single file and import that combined file
  • Example of an importable file: http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.html#_wsdl
  • Example of a non-importable file: http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.html#_style; attempts to import this file result in the error message Cannot Import Split Files
