Pétur Runólfsson commented on AXIS2-4401:
-----------------------------------------

The request used to get the xs:string response is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:axis="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <axis:getAny>
         <axis:args0>true</axis:args0>
      </axis:getAny>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The request used for the complex type response is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:axis="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <axis:getAny>
         <axis:args0>false</axis:args0>
      </axis:getAny>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

> Currently, the xsi:type attribute is only declared for complex types. This means that if a method that returns xs:anyType returns an object of simple type (for example xs:string or xs:date), the client gets no type information with the object. xsi:type attributes should always be declared for return values for methods that have xs:anyType return types. The same applies when a method returns a complex type that contains a xs:anyType property.
> Example response when xs:string is returned:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
>          <ns:return>Hello</ns:return>
>       </ns:getAnyResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> Response from same method when a complex type is returned:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
>          <ns:return xsi:type="ax21:Value" xmlns:ax21="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
>             <ax21:any xsi:nil="true"/>
>          </ns:return>
>       </ns:getAnyResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
