document/literal array items do not have same element name as defined in 
dynamically generated wsdl
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS-2764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2764
             Project: Axis
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Serialization/Deserialization
    Affects Versions: 1.3, 1.4
         Environment: Windows 2003 Server, BEA Weblogic 10
            Reporter: Bobby Lawrence
            Priority: Critical


I have a web service that returns an array of elements.
The dynamically generated wsdl is correct...each element of the array should 
have the name "item" as defined:

<complexType name="ArrayOf_SignatureType">
  <sequence>
    <element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="item" 
type="tns3:SignatureType"/>
  </sequence>
</complexType>

However, when invoking the service, Axis returns each item in the array with 
the element name of its parent!  like so:

<signatures>
  <signatures xsi:type="ns4:ProjSignatureType" 
xmlns:ns4="http://signatures.approvals.apps.mis.jlab.org";>
     <abbrev>PROJ</abbrev>
     <projAbbrev>ITGEN</projAbbrev>
  </signatures>
  <signatures xsi:type="ns5:OrgSignatureType" 
xmlns:ns5="http://signatures.approvals.apps.mis.jlab.org";>
    <abbrev>ORG</abbrev>
    <orgAbbrev>ITO</orgAbbrev>
   </signatures>
</signatures>

This makes it impossible to use Axis 1.3/4 with dynamically generated WSDL's 
because the client expects elements of name "item" and gets elements that are 
of the same name as the parent!  

We need either the WSDL generation to have the correct array element names, or 
the service to create the correct names.

To work around this issue, I have to change the Axis source code and rebuild 
using Ant or I have to create a WSDL by hand and change it so that the array 
elements are what Axis sends .... (this is difficult to manage in 
development/production enviroments because the wsdlsoap:address always needs to 
be changed and I can't deploy the same WAR in both places without changing the 
WSDL).

It seems that this has been an open issue since Axis version 1.3.....is anyone 
going to fix?
