I've sort of figured out new WSDL syntax that works as expected.
If I change the WSDL declaration of paymentAccounts from:
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="paymentAccounts">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
name="paymentAccount" type="FooDogType"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
TO:
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
name="paymentAccounts" type="FooDogVO" />
It all seems to work. This gets rid of some nested complexTypes and
sequence.
However, my bigger concern is changing all this code that worked
perfectly in 3.0 (10 services, 20 calls per service) and was probably
a workaround to make it work in 3.0.. What it does for the stability
of our code base.
It seems that the backward compatibility of Flex and Web Services is a
bit sketchy, at best...especially because I don't know of other
situations that will need to be changed, too. (This could be the
first of other problems that I've unleashed.)
