As I understand it, some examples of this would be the following:

(1)  Length restrictions on Strings:

<xs:element name="password">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:length value="8"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

(2)  Minimum and maximum length on Strings:

<xs:element name="password">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:minLength value="5"/>
      <xs:maxLength value="8"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

(3)  Pattern restrictions on Strings:

<xs:element name="letter">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:pattern value="[a-z]"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

(4) Minimum and maximum value restraints on Integers:

<xs:element name="age">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
      <xs:minInclusive value="0"/>
      <xs:maxInclusive value="120"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

I don't believe Axis2 will fail to process at wsdl2java time.  It will still 
build stubs from these.  What it won't do is actually encapsulate the 
restrictions into the data types, so none of the restrictions will actually be 
enforced at runtime.

There is one case though that I believe ADB bindings will allow for, and that 
is the specified value restrictions:

<xs:element name="car">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="Audi"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="Golf"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="BMW"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

I believe these will be properly encapsulated into an enumeration type.

Keep in mind that the restrictions are for ADB bindings.  If you want to use 
and enforce any of those restrictions that ADB bindings won't handle, Axis2 
does support XML Bean bindings, which I believe will enforce those restrictions.

Subject: could some one give me a xml schema example that axis2 can't process ?

hi all
    In Axis2 document , i find adb binding "It is not meant to be a full schema 
binding application, and has difficulty with structures such as XML Schema 
element extensions and restrictions."  but i don't know what the limition is.
    could some one give me a xml schema example that axis2 can't process ?

thanks very much~
