SOAP: Stubs are not generated for most operations in EJBCA WSDL

[intgr]

I'm quite clueless about both SOAP and xsdata. Sorry if I have misunderstood something about this tool. I thought that if I feed a WSDL file into the xsdata CLI command, it will generate Python code stubs that will allow me to access the SOAP API.

However, when I tried it with the EJBCA API, it only generates some irrelevant data structures and nothing that I can use.

A copy of the EJBCA WSDL is publicly available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linagora/poc-ejbca-ws-client.php/master/wsdl.xml

Here's how I tried to run it:

% xsdata ejbca1.xml --kw-only --slots -mll 120
========= xsdata v24.4 / Python 3.12.3 / Platform darwin =========

Parsing document file://[...]/ejbca1.xml
Analyzer input: 23 main and 0 inner classes
Analyzer output: 23 main and 0 inner classes
Generating package: init
Generating package: generated

The output generated/definitions.py file only has following dataclasses: Address, Binding1, Binding2, Body, ComplexContent, ComplexType, Definitions, Element, Extension, Fault1, Fault2, Input, Message, Operation1, Operation2, Output, Part, Port, PortType, Schema, Sequence, Service, Types.

But nothing for the operations/data structures I actually care about. For example I'm interested in the editUser operation, from WSDL:

        <wsdl:operation name="editUser">
            <wsdl:input message="tns:editUser" name="editUser">
            </wsdl:input>
            <wsdl:output message="tns:editUserResponse" name="editUserResponse">
            </wsdl:output>
            <wsdl:fault message="tns:EjbcaException" name="EjbcaException">
            </wsdl:fault>
            <wsdl:fault message="tns:AuthorizationDeniedException" name="AuthorizationDeniedException">
            </wsdl:fault>
            <wsdl:fault message="tns:ApprovalException" name="ApprovalException">
            </wsdl:fault>
            <wsdl:fault message="tns:UserDoesntFullfillEndEntityProfile" name="UserDoesntFullfillEndEntityProfile">
            </wsdl:fault>
            <wsdl:fault message="tns:CADoesntExistsException" name="CADoesntExistsException">
            </wsdl:fault>
            <wsdl:fault message="tns:WaitingForApprovalException" name="WaitingForApprovalException">
            </wsdl:fault>
        </wsdl:operation>

Hi @intgr the cli is can generate code from from xsd, dtd, wsdl, xml and json files and relies on the file extension to switch parsers.

Update the file extension to .wsdl

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. Yes, after renaming the file, it generates the code that I expected.
