[flexcoders] SOAP Service Issue, kind of a big bug

[Paul deCoursey]

Ok I have this WSDL:

When I try to create the metas object with the metadata objects this is 
the response Flex is generating:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
                   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <tns:storeMetadata xmlns:tns="http://examples.decoursey.com";>
         <tns:metas>
            <tns:metadata name="test 1">
               <tns:metadata xsi:nil="true"/>
            </tns:metadata>
            <tns:metadata name="test 2">
               <tns:metadata xsi:nil="true"/>
            </tns:metadata>
            <tns:metadata name="test 3">
               <tns:metadata xsi:nil="true"/>
            </tns:metadata>
            <tns:metadata name="test 4">
               <tns:metadata xsi:nil="true"/>
            </tns:metadata>
         </tns:metas>
      </tns:storeMetadata>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

All of the "<tns:metadata xsi:nil="true"/>"  should just a a simple 
string, not and element and certainly not a nil element.  Anybody have 
any ideas?
