Hi Amila, I am also running into the same issue. Could you please confirm which version of Axis2-ADB support both extension and restrictions?
I can see the following on <http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_4_1/adb/adb-howto.html> http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_4_1/adb/adb-howto.html Known Limitations ADB is meant to be a 'Simple' databinding framework and was not meant to compile all types of schemas. The following limitations are the most highlighted. 1. Complex Type Extensions and Restrictions. The documentation says, it is a known limitation.
