I don't control the wsdl.
I also do not like the ComplexTypes that are generated. They exist because
of Cobol requires certain structure, and I need the structures more
flattened.
So, if there was a way to make the generated files extend or implement an
Abstract Class or Interface?
If I use an Abstract Class I can have a utility method that will convert the
Complex SubType into data members on my DTO's/ActionForms.
I am just trying to solve this:
This works fine:
EnrollType.commonEnrollmentId == Consumer.commonEnrollmentId
With this:
BeanUtils.copyProperties(EnrollType, Consumer);
Then when the wsdl changes to this:
EnrollType.customerReferenceNumber != Consumer.commonEnrollmentId
This does NOT work:
BeanUtils.copyProperties(EnrollType, Consumer);
So without a way to have an extends or interface break at compile time, many
changes like this go unoticed for some time, and dismissed as bad data in
the DB.

Try seperating the Struts issues out of your question
and make it more of a wsdl and complex types question.
Maybe you have a front end to these web services but
thats not really a web services question, unless its a
special case.
Furthermore, I don't really understand the question.
With 'extension base' an WSDL can have super and
sub-types, and it is common simply to have a delegate
that mirrors the web service, doing the transactions
and so forth. Beyond that, if your passing objects I
don't understand why its burdensome to change the wsdl
on those objects.
Try to focus your question down a bit and maybe I can
help.
