Thanks for sharing your story, so I can keep this in mind if I run into these 
issues myself. I didn't think about primitive returns. I didn't have any in my 
web service. When I read your first mail I got the impression you meant it 
didn't support primitives or collections anywhere in the data model, which 
sounded a little too wild.

Yes, I also had to fight with it for a long time, ultimately I was successful 
except I found a bug where in WSDL 
(http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ENUNCIATE-804) when it never can generate 
elementFormDefault="qualified", and I couldn't find a reason not to use 
unqualified in XSD so I ended up doing that as a workaround. So in the end I 
got lucky enough but if anything else came about I would probably have given 
up. So I think I will have some big reservations to suggest Enunciate in the 
future.

I think this would be very useful for people who have gotten CXF to generate 
documentation through annotations, or contract-first development. Myself 
specifically I can't use it because my docs are in Javadoc so CXF-generated 
WADL would be missing all documentation. I also have the issue that my service 
is JAX-RS and WS at the same time. For example, Jersey for JAX-RS can do WADL 
from javadocs, but I chose CXF to do RS and WS at the same time.

Have you looked at Swagger? I originally got into Enunciate because my initial 
approach was to create a Swagger file by hand, and on their site they have a 
link to Enunciate because it can generate the Swagger description file (in 
addition to everything else, plus taking its info from Javadocs). But maybe I 
took one step too far...
