svcUtil error 'SchemaLocation' must successfully resolve if <redefine> contains any child other than <annotation>.

Question

I am trying to generate a proxy from a 3rd party wsdl and xsd files. I am calling svcutil like so:

svcutil *.wsdl *.xsd /language:C#

It returns this error: 'SchemaLocation' must successfully resolve if contains any child other than .

There is only one element in all the files, and it's schemaLocation attribute points to another file in the same directory. I tried fully qualifying the uri, but that did not help.

Ideas?

Answer 1

This error was caused by an unrelated problem with the wsdl file. The portType operation parameters were named, but the binding operation peramters were not. When I fixed this svcutil generated the proxy, so I assume it must have been able to find the proper xsd includes.
