Describe the Issue

Importing my WSDL to both Postman app and web results in the following error in the request body:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <error>The element or type could not be found undefined</error>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I have been able to use this WSDL with SoapUI with no errors but would like to switch to Postman

Steps To Reproduce

1. In app or web version, click Import
2. Click WSDL in the default 'File' type or click 'Link'
3. Finish importing and navigate to 'Collections'
4. Navigate to body of request

Additional Context?

I'm using a tutorial for a sample Spring app with all of its completed code accessible on GitHub. It uses DefaultWsdl11Definition to expose a WSDL from a defined XSD schema. The WSDL would be located at http://localhost:8080/ws/countries.wsdl and looks like:

The issue seemed similar to 10588 but there are no remote schema references

@xincare Thanks for reporting the issue. We're taking a look into this issue, and will update once we've more details on the fix.

Thank you for looking into this. It seems that removing the xlmns:sch namespace declaration at the top of the WSDL file fixes this error. What could be the reason for this?
