Let's say that Object had the attribute "abstract=true", then clearly the
Folder class should be generated since that would be the only type that
could
be instantiated and passed over the wire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case that Object does not have the "abstract=true" attribute, then
either Object or Folder could be passed over the wire. It certainly
wouldn't
offend me to generate both. It certainly could offend a user if it didn't
generate Folder.
+1 to generating both Object and Folder.
So if an xml type is referenced, then all complexTypes that extend the
referenced type
should be marked as referenced.

Please respond to

Russel,
You say "...But perhaps it SHOULD be generated because it COULD be used as
an Object?"
I say: "It SHOULD be generated because it WILL be used."

Subject: What should WSDL2Java generate on inheritance?
Folks in axis-dev, there's a discussion going on in axis-user about what
WSDL2Java generates. Given:
> > <complexType name="Object">
> > <sequence>
> > [...]
> > </sequence>
> > </complexType>
> >

> > <complexContent>

> > </operation>
There are 2 types here: Object, and Folder (for which Object is the base).
Object is generated because it's in the addInput message which is in the
add operation. Folder is NOT generated because it isn't referenced
anywhere. But perhaps it SHOULD be generated because it COULD be used as
an Object?
Question: what is the right thing to do?
