xsi:type attribute should be generated for elements declared as xs:anyType when
the actual value is a simple type
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-4401
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4401
Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: adb
Affects Versions: 1.5
Reporter: Pétur Runólfsson
Priority: Minor
Currently, the xsi:type attribute is only declared for complex types. This
means that if a method that returns xs:anyType returns an object of simple type
(for example xs:string or xs:date), the client gets no type information with
the object. xsi:type attributes should always be declared for return values for
methods that have xs:anyType return types. The same applies when a method
returns a complex type that contains a xs:anyType property.
Example response when xs:string is returned:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2";>
<ns:return>Hello</ns:return>
</ns:getAnyResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Response from same method when a complex type is returned:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2";>
<ns:return xsi:type="ax21:Value"
xmlns:ax21="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/xsd";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<ax21:any xsi:nil="true"/>
</ns:return>
</ns:getAnyResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
