Brian J Gladish commented on AXIS-1773:
---------------------------------------

This issue not only creates a lot of overhead, but causes interoperability problems with .NET as well.

>          Key: AXIS-1773
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1773
>      Project: Axis
>         Type: Bug
>   Components: WSDL processing
>     Versions: 1.2RC2
>  Environment: Windows 2000, Java 1.4.2
>     Reporter: Peter Eastman

> One method in my web service takes an argument of type byte[][], which contains a set of binary files to upload.  When I run java2wsdl, it generates the following definition:
>    <complexType name="ArrayOf_xsd_base64Binary">
>     <complexContent>
>      <restriction base="soapenc:Array">
>       <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:byte[][]"/>
>      </restriction>
>     </complexContent>
>    </complexType>
> As seen from the name, this is clearly intended to be a 1D array of base64 encoded byte arrays.  Unfortunately, it actually is a 2D array of individually encoded bytes.  When I build stubs from it with wsdl2java and view the request message with SOAPMonitor, it looks like this:
> <fileContents xsi:type="soapenc:Array" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:byte[][2]" ...>
>  <item soapenc:arrayType="xsd:byte[25]">
>   <item>77</item>
>   <item>49</item>
>   ...
> This turns even small files into enormous messages.
