AXIS generating bad WSDL ... maybe a bug

[Mark D. Hansen]

I'd like to be able to deploy a web services that receives a 
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement and returns the same type.  However, when I deploy the 
following, Axis is generating invalid WSDL.

The problem in the WSDL is that a undefined prefix "tns1" is being used to define the 
return type: "tns1:SOAPElement".

Details are below ...

Here is the service being deployed:
===================================

public class TestService { 

  public SOAPElement onRequest(SOAPElement msgElt) 
    throws RemoteException { return msgElt; }

}

Here is the WSDD:
=================

<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/";>
  <service name="TestService" style="document">
    <parameter name="className" 
      value="com.javector.chap5.junk.TestService"/>
    <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="onRequest" />
  </service>
</deployment>


Here is the WSLD that gets generated at the URL 
http://localhost:8080/axis/services/TestService?wsdl:
