JAX-WS: SAXParseException parsing MSN Search WSDL file

Question

I'd like my java app to use JAX WS to make calls to the SOAP API for Microsoft's Live Search. The WSDL file is located at: http://soap.search.msn.com/webservices.asmx?wsdl
I download that file and called it msn.wsdl. I then ran the command "wsimport msn.wsdl", which resulted in the following error:
error: invalid WSDL file! failed to parse document at "file:/C:/dev/msn.wsdl": org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The prefix "wsdl" for element "wsdl:definitions" is not bound.I don't know if this is relevant or not, but the wsdl:definitions tag looks like this:
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/MSNSearch/2005/09/fex">And there is nothing at the specified URL (http://schemas.microsoft.com/MSNSearch/2005/09/fex).
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working? (Better yet, has someone else already done this and created a jar file that I can download?)
I'm using jdk 1.6.0_03-b05 on Windows.

Hello,
And there is nothing at the specified URL (http://schemas.microsoft.com/MSNSearch/2005/09/fex).This is namespace, not a correct internet location in this case.
There should be following declaration for wsdl namespace in "definition" tag:
  xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" I think you copied wsdl from firefox window or something like that. Use "save as" option of the internet browser or tool like wget to save this file.
This is correct "definition" tag for this wsdl:
<wsdl:definitions
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
    xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
    xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing"
    xmlns:tns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/MSNSearch/2005/09/fex"
    targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/MSNSearch/2005/09/fex">Regards,
