Spring Boot Soap WSDL doesnt contain anything wsdl:portType section

Question

I am new to SOAP webservices development using spring and I have referred the following website for my soap ws development.https://www.concretepage.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-soap-web-service-example. I have setup the demo application i am able to generate the wsdl file. however when I used my project related XSD file it is generated wsdl file but it doesnt contain anything under wsdl:portType section.

I have used the following xsd file to generate wsdl based on DefaultWsdl11Definition. my xsd file is here.

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://www.example.com/"
       targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/" elementFormDefault="qualified">

                                                                            <xs:enumeration value="OK"/>
                                                                            <xs:enumeration value="REQUEST_ERROR"/>

Answer 1

By default DefaultWsdl11Definition define the request type suffix as Request and the response type suffix as Response. This can be customised during the bean initialisation is needed.

update your xsd so the response and the request are named as follow :

...
    <xs:element name="createCaseForPatientRequest">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="caseId" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element name="caseXML" nillable="false" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="entityType" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="entityInstance" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="parameters" nillable="true" type="tns:parameters"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="createCaseForPatientResponse">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="caseId" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element name="screensURL" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element name="patientStatus" nillable="false" type="tns:PatientStatus"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
...

and your operation definition as follow :

//...
    @PayloadRoot(namespace = NAMESPACE_URI, localPart = "createCaseForPatientRequest")
    @ResponsePayload
    public CreateCaseForPatientResponse createCaseForPatient(@RequestPayload CreateCaseForPatientRequest request) {
        CreateCaseForPatientResponse response = new CreateCaseForPatientResponse();
        response.setCaseId("ABC123");
        response.setScreensURL("www.patientinfo.org");
        response.setPatientStatus(new PatientStatus());
        return response;
    }
//...
