I am trying to consume a web service written in .NET. When I generate the client using Apache Axis, most of the methods work. However, in the WSDL for the web service I am trying to consume, some elements are defined as a Microsoft char data type:
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="Status" type="s1:char"/> For some reason Apache axis tries to map this char datatype to an "UnsignedShort". So when the soap envelope is sent to the .NET service it contains: <Status xsi:type="xsd:unsignedShort">1</Status> instead of something like: <Status xsi:type="q0:char">1</Status> (where namespace q0="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/";) The causes the web service call to fail because the .NET web service is expecting a char datatype, not an unsignedShort. How can I configure Apache Axis so that the client will send the Microsoft char type in the soap envelope: <Status xsi:type="q0:char">1</Status>
