In order to make the exporter work correctly if there are more than one endpoints defined for the service, ExportEndpoint() must be slightly changed:

public void ExportEndpoint(

WsdlExporter exporter,

WsdlEndpointConversionContext context

)

{

XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = exporter.GeneratedXmlSchemas;

foreach (WsdlDescription wsdl in exporter.GeneratedWsdlDocuments)

{

List<XmlSchema> importsList = new List<XmlSchema>();

foreach (XmlSchema schema in wsdl.Types.Schemas)

{

AddImportedSchemas(schema, schemaSet, importsList);

}

if (importsList.Count == 0)

{

return;

}

wsdl.Types.Schemas.Clear();

foreach (XmlSchema schema in importsList)

{

RemoveXsdImports(schema);

wsdl.Types.Schemas.Add(schema);

}

I've been searching far and wide, with no success, for a snippet showing how to flatten a wsdl+(several xsd) files to a single wsdl file I can feed to the wsdl2php utility from WSO2. I'm no WCF programmer, but your code looks promising ... only problem is, can it be adapted to read its input from a set of files?

From what I understand, at a minimum one needs to replace the exporter.GeneratedXmlSchemas and exporter.GeneratedWsdlDocuments with something that can fill an XmlSchemaSet and a WsdlDescription objects, but I have no idea how.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give,

Massimo

This is very useful, thanks. Under what license may this be used?

Looks like it has a bug. This:

foreach (WsdlDescription wsdl in exporter.GeneratedWsdlDocuments)

I think should be:

foreach (ServiceDescription wsdl in exporter.GeneratedWsdlDocuments)

I am having difficulty getting this to work from within a windows service.

Here is my code

FlatWsdlServiceHost flatServiceHost = new FlatWsdlServiceHost(typeof(WSOrder), baseAddress);

flatServiceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IWSOrder), binding, registerAddress);

flatServiceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(metadataBehavior);
