#import' is not permitted as constrained by 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#schema_._type';

Hi,

I am unable to import the schema file whenever I try to invoke my webservice deployed on tomcat.
It gives following error:

'The element '#import' is not permitted as constrained by 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#schema_._type'; expecting annotation | redefine | import | include | attributeGroup | group | complexType | simpleType | notation | attribute | element | nothing'

Hi!
Where are you trying to import the XML schema? In a WSDL file?
If that is the case, then the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 has the following to say about the WSDL import statement:
- The WSDL import statement must only be used to import other WSDL documents.
Reference & examples: http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1.html#WSDL_and_Schema_Import

Furthermore:
- XML schemas may only be imported in the <wsdl:types> element of a WSDL document, as in the following example:

...
    <wsdl:types> 
        <!-- 
            This is an example how to import another XML schema into a WSDL 
            document. It must be done inside the <types> element. 
        --> 
        <xsd:schema> 
            <xsd:import namespace="http://www.example.com/SpaceWarGame"  schemaLocation="SpaceWarGame.xsd"/> 
        </xsd:schema> 
    </wsdl:types>
...

Hope this helps!
