Java2WSDL generates schema element with type=""

           Summary: Java2WSDL generates schema element with type=""
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: WSDL processing
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: volkmann2@charter.net


Java2WSDL can generate schema definitions of complex types like the following.

  <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://util.core.agedwards.com">
   <xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
   <xsd:complexType name="WrappingException">
    <xsd:sequence>
     <xsd:element name="message" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
     <xsd:element name="nestedException" nillable="true" type=""/>
    </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:schema>

Note the type="".  This causes WSDL2Java to fail with the following error.

java.io.IOException: Type {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/} is referenced but 
not defined.

When I changed it to type="xsd:anyType" (based on a tip from Brian Ward) the 
problem went away.
