I had it the wrong way around and confused the java2wsdl from your

Presumably the following is happening: At assembly time Jonas uses 
wsdl2java to generate, among other things, a deploy.wsdd. At deployment 
time, Jonas uses the Axis AdminClient to merge this deploy.wsdd into 
Axis' server-config.wsdd. Do you know if this is correct?

There are no operation elements in that WSDD. Without them, Axis won't 
use the names and types you intended in the input and output messages.

Well, Axis (at least as of 1.2RC) does that. Not directly, though. You 
need to process your WSDL with wsdl2java and among other things, you 
get a deploy.wsdd with names, types and namespaces specified for 
operations. Also, the deployScope can be specified.

I may be mistaken and I can't claim that Axis is doing everything right, 
but the problem in your case appears to be one of integration where the 
Jonas installation doesn't make full use of what Axis offers. I don't 
know Jonas, thus I can't say whether this is a genuine limitation of 
the respective Jonas version or a shortcoming of the deployment.
