Publish fails cross-service (ARM id in PUT body) and SOAP WSDL re-import fails on external xsd:import schemaLocations #284

Symptoms

Publishing extracted artifacts fails in two independent ways:

1. Cross-service resource references rejected (HTTP 400)

Extracted artifact JSON carries the source service's ARM id (and diagnostics carry properties.loggerId as a full source ARM path). The publisher sends these verbatim, so publishing to any service other than the one extracted from fails on every resource:

ERROR PUT group/administrators: HTTP 400: ValidationError: Resource id
'/subscriptions/{src-sub}/.../service/{src-svc}/groups/administrators' references
APIM service '{src-svc}', which is different from the service '{target-svc}'
targeted by the request. Cross-service resource references are not allowed.

Reproduced on a live Developer-tier instance: 27/27 PUTs failed (named values, groups, gateways, loggers, products, APIs, diagnostics).

2. SOAP API re-import fails: "Unable to parse WSDL" (HTTP 400) or Timeout (HTTP 422)

APIM's WSDL export is not round-trippable for WCF-originated APIs. The export contains both:

• all XSD schemas inline in wsdl:types (correct), and
• the original <xs:import schemaLocation="http://{private-host}/Service.svc?xsd=xsdN"> URLs preserved from the initial import (in our case 32 imports pointing at a private 192.168.x.x address unreachable from Azure).

On re-import (PUT ?import=true&format=wsdl) APIM attempts to resolve every schemaLocation even though each imported namespace is already declared by an inline schema. Result:

ERROR PUT api/{name}: HTTP 400: ValidationError: Parsing error(s): Unable to parse WSDL

(the import parse log shows all-Informational events — "WSDL is considered valid", "Loaded '14' schemas" — then aborts on the unresolvable imports), or on slower SKUs:

ERROR PUT api/{name}: HTTP 422: Timeout: Call to Management API ... timed out

Fix

• Strip the top-level id from PUT/PATCH bodies (stripSourceArmId in apim-client).
• Rebuild properties.loggerId of Diagnostic/ApiDiagnostic against the target service (honoring env-mapping affixes), same as the existing ApiRelease apiId / apiVersionSetId normalizations.
• New WSDL normalization normalizeWsdlXsdImportLocations: drop the schemaLocation attribute from xs:import elements only when the imported namespace is declared by an inline schema (per XML Schema spec, schemaLocation is only a hint; the document is self-contained). Applied on the publish path (fixes already-extracted artifacts) and the extract path (future extracts are clean). wsdl:import location=, no-namespace imports, and imports of namespaces not present inline are left untouched.

Verified end-to-end against a live instance: previously-failing SOAP API now imports with 0 errors (37 creates/updates).
