Ah, I just realized (from looking at another posting from you) that you're probably using JiBX with Axis2, and the quote about simpleType definitions and formats came from the Axis2-JiBX documentation.
To have this work properly in Axis2 you'd need to use the <format> definition, and need to have the name='...' attribute on the <format> match the simpleType name. In this case, you'd need to have the http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/ namespace declared in your binding (say on the <binding> element itself, like xmlns:msns='http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/ namespace') and would need to specify name='msns:guid' on the <format> element and format='msns:guid' on any <value> elements that use that type. - Dennis Dennis M.
