I think it is a bit misleading to characterize what I am expecting as being *everything *. Axis 1.x doesn't even come close to everything. But it is still very useable.
What I would hope is that ADB can be used with a typical WSDL found in the wild – UDDI, Amazon.com, Google, etc, etc. If it doesn't work with the WSDL users are likely to want to consume, then they will just walk away. Or maybe they will figure out how to use XMLBeans. Maybe.
Just my 2 cents.

One more comment.
Can you all remember that we agreed to have a "Simple" data binding framework for Axis2, during the second Axis2 f2f ? We were very clear that we didn't want a full data binding tool. (Glen, Dims you all were there too.)
So Tom, its unfair for you to expect *everything* from ADB. If you want full support use any of the existing data binding tools with Axis2. I think the existing stuff would be far better than Axis2 as they were built by domain experts.
So do we need to re-invent the wheel here ?

Where would you draw the line Tom? Substitution groups? Attribute
groups? Or would you not draw a line at all?
If we do all of XML Schema then we are reinventing XMLBeans or something
similar. That's clearly not the core competency of SOAP implementors; so
would that be a core part of a SOAP implementation.
I'm *really* hoping that Paul Downey's new WG [1] on schema patterns for
data binding does something useful so that we can stop this debate and
draw the line at that!
