WebService bad element / not resolvable

Question

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a web service I have built with
Java. When I send my web service request from Flex, I get the
following error:
[WSDLError faultString="Element
http://geovista.psu.edu/campus:generateListImage
not resolvable" faultCode="WSDL.BadElement" faultDetail="null"]
at mx.rpc.soap::WSDLParser/
http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::parseMessage()
at mx.rpc.soap::WSDLOperation/parseMessages()
at mx.rpc.soap::Operation/

flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.rpc.soap::WSDLParser/dispatchEvent()
at mx.rpc.soap::WSDLParser/::parseCompleted()
I have read that this may be because Flex does not support
import statements in the wsdl file. I am wondering if this is true
or if I should be looking at another reason why my web service
request is not working? If this is true, does anyone know of a
workaround?
Thanks,
Scott

Hello, everyone.
(First, I'm sorry my poor English....
Recentry, I saw the same situation.
In my case, this error happends when the target WebService is
based on
.NET, using SQL Server & SQLXML3.0.
I've been provided my WebServices based on these technology,
and had no problem when I used
Flex1.5 and Flex2.0.
After updating my Flex Builder to
2.0.1, this error happends.
(I tried to test the same applications compiled by Flex
Builder2.0 and Flex Builder 2.0.1, then, only the later one has the
problem.)
I find that only the "First" send is failed and any data is
not send to the server.
But the later send requests are not failed.
So that I handle this problem with retrying when exception is
happened.
Like this:
<mx:Webservice id="ws" .../>
try {
ws.send();
} catch (e:Error) {
// retry!
ws.send();
I wonder why this trouble comes after using Flex Builder
2.0.1 and why another webservice are not failed....
It seems this is caused from WSDL format but the WSDL is
auto-generated by SQLXML, so I have no way to change the WSDL.
Anyway, I manage to work my application like above.
I hope this post is any help for you......
