The Schema in the WSDL generated by gSOAP for our service for some reason derives from
anyType by restriction, i.e.
<complexType name="AltLink">
<complexContent>
<restriction base="xsd:anyType">
<sequence>
<element name="prev" type="ts:stringData" />
<element name="next" type="ts:stringData" />
</sequence>
</restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
Like I said, with my limited Schema knowledge deriving by restriction from anyType
doesn't make sense to me, but gSOAP does it, and VisualStudio.NET prefers it that way
(yet to be verified by myself). To resolve this issue, I need to find out whether
gSOAP generated WSDL is incorrect, or Axis Java generation is incorrect, and making
sure that VisualStudio.NET can grok the generated WSDL too.
cheers,
Simon
