InfoPath 2007 and InfoPath 2003 cannot correctly generate a form when a WSDL file uses definitions with a type reference

You may have a Web Service Description Language (WSDL) file for a Web service that uses definitions with the following attributes:

• A type attribute that is similar to the following:

  <message name="GetReturnXmlNodeSoapOut">
    <part name="XmlNoder" type="s0:myType" /> 
   </message>

• An element attribute that is similar to the following:

  <message name="GetReturnXmlNodeSoapOut">
      <part name="parameters" element="s0:GetReturnXmlNodeResponse" />
  </message>
  

With this WSDL file, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 and Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 cannot correctly generate a form from the Web service method, and you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

This problem occurs because InfoPath does not generate the correct XSD code when a part has a type reference. SOAP returns an empty Message name value.
