Groovy WSClient and document/literal WS

Question

I have a WS avaialbel @ http://domain.com/Service?wsdl . The wsdl imports multiple XSD definitions. When I tried to invoke the service as shown below, i am getting an exception saying it is unable to locate the xsd's on server which is fine as the xsd's are not present there. My question is how to tell WSClient resolve the xsd's from classpath or file system and ignore to get them from server?

def proxy = new WSClient("http://domain/Service?wsdl", this.class.classLoader)
        proxy.initialize()

Answer 1

1. Download the WSDL & XSDs in a folder and replace all remote XSD references in WSDL with their local counterpart[Relative Path].

2. Generate WS client and use that.

Tested many times with Axis, Metro & XFire
