How do I add classes to the deploment / type section of the generated WSDL?

With Java2WSDL I can specify --extraClasses to add a class name, but I can't find how to add classes using the WSDD description. The classes are in the wsdd as beanmappings, but Axis 1.2 seems to remove them anyway.

Situation: Two data-objects, one extends the other. One result that has an array of the base class. Method returns an the result type that contains an array with type of the base class, but elements of the array are the derived objects:

public class BaseObject {}

public class DerivedObject extends BaseObject implements java.io.Serializable {}

public class SearchResult implements java.io.Serializable {

private ArrayList foundObjects;

public SearchResult() { foundObjects = new ArrayList(); }

public BaseObject[] getFoundObjects() { return (BaseObject[]) foundObjects.toArray(new BaseObject[0]); }

public void setFoundObjects(BaseObject[] aBaseObject) { foundObjects = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(aBaseObject)); }

public void addFoundObject(BaseObject aBaseObject) { foundObjects.add(aBaseObject); }

}

public class SearchObjects {
  public SearchResult search() {
   SearchResult result = new SearchResult();
  result.addFoundObject(new DerivedObject () );
  return result;
  }
}

When reading the generated wsdl through the service (services/myservice?wsdl) only BaseObject/ArrayOfBaseObject and SearchResult are in the types section. In Axis 1.1 all defined mappings are included, so also BaseObject

When using the method, I get an SAXException: Invalid element on the properties of the derived object.

In WSDD:
