In your first WSDL for the error "The processing instruction target matching "xXmMlL" is not allowed" check if there are any new lines within the WSDL. Delete them and try uploading again.

Hi!

There is something formally wrong in your WSDL File. Please search for string "xXmMlL" and copy&paste the surrounding XML part into this post so that we can see what is exactly wrong there.

Volker,

I searched for the string string xXmMlL in the imported document Tab . I couldn't find anything .

The message i am able to see in WSDL tab is below.

Unable to convert imported document to WSDL

Reason:

Error when parsing an XML document (The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.)Check selected category

Thanks.

Volker,

There are two WSDLs. The other WSDL is giving the below error.

Unable to convert imported document to WSDL

Reason:

Error when parsing an XML document (The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.)Check selected category

I searched for the string & and this & is used along with some text in the WSDL.

Kindly let me know how to proceed with this.

Thanks.

Please copy&paste exactly this part of WSDL into your post here. Maybe the WSDL is not well-formed.

Did you already try to watch the WSDL with another tool like XML Spy or soapUI or s.th. like that? Such tools normally give you clear hints in case there is anything not okay.
