Anne,
Yes, I came to the conclusion there was a difference, but I added both
purely to try and persuade Axis to handle the error.
I think Axis is ignoring the minOccurs="0", despite the fact I can see it
being set up in the source code generated:
elemField = new org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc();
elemField.setFieldName("requestCategoryCode");
elemField.setXmlName(new
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.caps-solutions.co.uk/schema/uniform/72b/servicerequest/sr/srtypes","RequestCategoryCode";));
elemField.setXmlType(new
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.caps-solutions.co.uk/schema/uniform/72b/common/uniformtypes";,
"CNCODE_CodeValue"));
elemField.setMinOccurs(0);
elemField.setNillable(true);
Can this really be an Axis bug? I thought this would be fairly heavily tested?
