Hi John,
I haven't tried out the Axis2 POJO support, but in general anything you
do using POJOs directly is going to be both inflexible and very limited
in terms of the XML support. You might want to look into using JiBX data
binding, which will provide full XML support for existing POJO classes
while also offering a lot more flexibility. The Jibx2Wsdl tool
(http://www.sosnoski.com/jibx-wiki/space/axis2-jibx/jibx2wsdl) can be
used to generate the full set of artifacts for this, including a JiBX
binding, the corresponding XML schema, and the WSDL.
If you're using Java 5+, you might also be able to use JAXB annotations
in your POJOs to achieve the same results (or does that change these to
POAJOs, Plain Old Annotated Java Objects?). I know there's some basic
support for JAXB in the Axis2 1.2 release. I don't know if this allows
you to work with existing JAXB-annotated classes, or if you always have
to generate your classes. JAX-WS support would definitely allow this,
but from what I know that's still at an experimental stage.

dims,
Thanks. I'll look into that and will get back to the list and/or Jira
tomorrow.
Note that I am trying to avoid tweaking the WSDL at all costs. The
value of the POJO stuff lies in not having to do that . . .

It seems like the schema in the wsdl might need a tweak as the adb
generated code is expecting at least 1. could you try saving the wsdl
and tweaking the schema (minOccurs/maxOccurs) and then codegen using
the tweaked wsdl. If you make no headway, please log a bug with your
javabean/wsdl etc.
thanks,
