solicit-response-or-notification-operation

[James Wilson <wi...@ociweb.com>]

It seems that Axis 1.2.1 does not support the
solicit-response-or-notification-operation form of wsdl:operation.  I've pasted
the relavent section from the schema (http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/) below. 
The way I interpret it, an operation can have only an output message.  I have a
schema that defines an operation like this:
<wsdl:operation name="getDatabases">
    <wsdl:documentation>
    </wsdl:documentation>
    <wsdl:output name="getDbResp" message="tns:getDbResp"/>
</wsdl:operation>

The full WSDL (Document/Literal) passes XMLSpy validation.  Yet when I run
wsgen, the method will disappear from the type interface.  I should point out
now, that the reason I came across this is that when Axis is given a
wsdl:message with no part elements, the resulting messages fail WS-I
BasicProfile "envelope" assertions.  I will have to continue with an input
message that has no part.

Is this a known issue?  Is there something I can do to the WSDL to create
compliant request AND response messages when the wsdl:message has no parts?
