The generated code is for the data types in the soap encoding schema. I had to manually change some code since soap encoding does not necessarily follow the xml schemas.

As I see no one currently use this feature and it is obsolete. thanks, Amila. > > > Regards, > > Andreas > > [1] http://markmail.org/thread/htchm4nsbywlnzi4 > [2] http://markmail.org/message/xkzefcaxrfio5zsm > [3] http://markmail.org/message/vhayn365l6hrgvmo > [4] http://markmail.org/message/wfoynhc6i6k5r76u > [5] http://markmail.org/message/rcvtjvrelwncv7a6 > -- Amila Suriarachchi WSO2 Inc. blog: http://amilachinthaka.blogspot.com/
