    Comment:
Attached is a patch that adds group support for WSDL2java.  The approach was to treat a group reference like as if it was a macro inclusion.  That is, a group reference results in putting the group member fields directly into the referencing class.  Please note that my understaning of WSDL2java may not be complete enough to guarantee that this patch does 100% of what is needed to really fix this problem.
    Changes:
             Attachment changed to group.patch

        Key: AXIS-1525
    Summary: xsd:group behavior is wrong
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned

Description:
WSDL2Java generates separate types for groups, and objects that reference groups end up with a children object.  The problem is that serialization of that object should not show the group in XML.  The elements of the group should appear on the wire as if they were elements of the referencing object.

It seems that the problem might be fixable by changing the way in which WSDL2Java generates classes with groups.  The bean writer could recurse in to groups and treat the elements as elements of the object being written.  This might create problems when trying to properly handle xsd attributes like minOccurs=0, etc.. that appear on the group reference.

Another possible solution would be to add some info to the type description so that the serialization could could recognize a group reference and do the right thing.  The same would need to be true of the deserializer.  This fix involves a change to the code generator as well as changes to the Axis engine.

N O T E:  I am interested in supplying a fix for this problem.  Please comments on this issue so that I chose the method that best fits the design goals of the Axis developers.
