Actually, that wasn't me. It was the original poster (Sam) who
said it. I was continuing the thread because it addressed the
problem I'm encountering. I probably should have started a
new thread to avoid confusion, or indicated in my original post
what my situation is. My bad.
At any rate, given that our soap headers are simple strings,
would I still need to add info to the <types> section?
(I will probably start another thread for my WSDL4J questions,
so they don't get lost in this thread.)
