Title: Why does the > preceed type names?

In code like below:

param = new org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("urn:x.SimpleWrap", "add"), org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc.IN, new javax.xml.namespace.QName("urn:x.SimpleWrap", ">add"), wrap.Add.class, false, false);

oper.addParameter(param);

What is the > placed in fron to the typename?  This is code generated by axis 1.2 final.
