OK, thanks Frank, I tried that and the effect is the same regarless of
whether the xsi:type reference to an extension or not. xsi:type does work
with both extensions and base classes if it's used on an element that is not
the root element. I have opened a jira (505) and added this information.

Hi Simon,
I think it should work. Your example is a little strange in that the
xsi:type is the same as the actual element type. Usually the xsi:type is
used to identify a subtype, so maybe the implementation has a bug that
only turns up in this case.
Is there someone with more XML expertise then me that knows if xsi:type
equal to the actual type is valid XML?
Could you please try changing your example to include a subtype:
<complexType name="ExtendedComplexTypeRootType">
<complexContent>
<xsd:extension base="tns:ComplexTypeRootType"/>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
and then use it as the xsi:type in your instance.
I think that should definitely work.
Also, could you please open a JIRA for this issue.
Thanks,
Frank.
