newbie .net interop question

The goal is to have a simple service that can accept and return an arbitrary XML document. Environment is Axis 1.2 beta.

Given a method definition:

       public Document processRequest(Document request)

..and a deployment descriptor:

<service name="RequestFromVendorService" style="document">
<requestFlow>
<..some handlers..>
</requestFlow>
<responseFlow>
<..some handlers..>
</responseFlow>
<parameter name="className" value="com.abc.midtier.RequestFromVendorService" />
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="processRequest" />
</service>

This yields the following WSDL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://localhost:8080/gvi/services/RequestFromVendorService"; xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";

        </wsdl:input>

        <wsdl:output name="processRequestResponse">

           <wsdlsoap:body namespace="http://localhost:8080/gvi/services/RequestFromVendorService";

        </wsdl:output>

     </wsdl:operation>

  </wsdl:binding>

  <wsdl:service name="RequestFromVendorServiceService">

     <wsdl:port binding="impl:RequestFromVendorServiceSoapBinding"

     </wsdl:port>

  </wsdl:service>

</wsdl:definitions>


All looks good to me, and WSDL2Java handles it nicely. However, should someone using the .net toolset be able to take this WSDL, automatically generate their required proxies, and use them? I've got a report from a user who says their tools either die on this, or report no errors, but generate no proxies.
