Ah! Thank you for the suggestions. I took an old machine and
installed Eclipse and the Flex Builder Plugins. Here were my results:
Flex 2: Ran my WSDL Test and everything worked fine.
Flex 2 with Hotfix 2: Ran WSDL Test and it failed with decode errors
Flex 2 with Hotfix 3: Ran WSDL Test and it failed with decode errors
Flex 3: Ran my WSDL Test and everything worked fine.
It appears that somewhere between 2 & 3 something broke and got fixed
again. I am happy that it is working in the newest version!
However, here is my dilemma. We are in the middle of a huge project
with weekly deadlines. It is not my practice to install "beta"
versions of software while we are in development like this. But in
this case it seems that if we want the fix then we may need to
upgrade. So my question is how stable is this Flex 3 version and
what potential issues may we run into using this with LCDS 2.5.1? Is
there any timeout period to the beta version where we would be stuck
with software that we can't use anymore work?
This may have already been discussed on the forums so I will search
there as well for my answers. Thanks for the help.

"Hotfix" is a misnomer as applied to the WebService feature - Flex
2.0.1 HF2 coincided with LCDS 2.5 and a new stricter, E4X based
implementation of WebService was developed during the LCDS 2.5
release. Many more schema situations were supported and more fixes
have been made since, but the effort today is directed to the Flex
3 release.
To get the latest nightly builds of the pre-release version of Flex
3 SDK, see Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/sdk/flex3sdk.html
If you could try a later SDK out and let us know if any bugs remain
(best way is to log a bug athttp://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ by
providing a snippet of code, the wsdl, and an XML capture of the
response if it's a decoding issue) that'd be really helpful.
Note, when you say the enumeration behavior is not working as
expected, are values missing in the encoded or decoded output, or
were you hoping for validation? Right now we do not validate the
content but simply use the schema to encode and decode content.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Web Service & Enumerations...Is this a
bug?...need help!
I am wondering if this is related to the problem I am having:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-9521
Is there a way to see what was changed in the HotFix? My web
services are not behaving as expected and I am wondering if this is
a bug. I would love to hear from anyone else who has experience
with using web services regularly.

Has anyone been successful accessing web services (with the
WebService classes) that include an enumeration in them. I cannot
get it to work properly and no one seems to have an answer (even the
support people at the web service company...). Take a look at this
WSDL to see the structure of the webservice I am trying to access.

Thanks for the help... I am getting desperate.
