xsd:any as opposed to Element in Axis SOAP

[Bob Powell <bo...@bobpowell.net>]

I need to create a web service with a parameter type of xsd:strng and a return type of xsd:any as opposed to tns1:element (where tns1 is xmlns:tns1="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap")

original WSDL element:  <wsdl:part name="in0" type="tns1:Element" />
desred WSDL element: wsdl:part name="sql" type="xsd:string" />

original WSDL element:  <wsdl:part name="return" type="tns1:Element" />
desired WSDL element: <wsdl:part name="return" type="xsd:any" />

When I use WSDL2Java to generate the service from my desired service description I get the error...

java.io.IOException: Type http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:any is referenced but not defined.

TIA.
