Yep, noticed. Very exciting!

Ok. Questions:

- is that a required part of the SOAP spec or just a convenience? I haven't
noticed it (not that I completely understand the spec).

- if it's part of the spec, why wouldn't you at least add support for
recognizing the xsd:schema type now for compliance, even if it is
implemented as, say, 'any'? The caller can at least get the schema document
back then.

- what exactly is it that you think it should do (or, asked a different way,
what are the integration points with Axis)?

  + should the typing be done dynamically such that the stubs instantiate
the proper object type but don't declare it?

  + should the typing be done by WSDL2Java such that it's embedded in the
stubs

  + should it be a 'casting'/'validating' layer on top of the WSDL2Java
generated stubs?

  + other?
