Axis skips generating type if it thinks it can just make an array
I'm using Axis 1.3. I have a schema with a complexType which has a
single sequence of one element (unbounded count on that one element).
It looks something like this (the commented element will come up later):
<xs:complexType name="SomethingItemPropertyListInfo">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="PropertyData"
type="SomethingPropertyInfo" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<!--<xs:element name="Dummy" type="xs:boolean"
minOccurs="0"/> -->
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
When we generate code from this schema, the generated class
corresponding to this type is, well, nonexistent. It generates nothing
for it.
If we instead comment in the "Dummy" element, it generates the
"SomethingItemPropertyListInfo" class. This is a workaround, but an
annoying one. We'd really like to have the schema definition not
include "Dummy", but still generate the "SomethingItemPropertyListInfo"
type.
At this point, we haven't attempted to inject Castor or XMLBeans into
the picture to customize our code generation. We would definitely
consider that if that's the only viable way to resolve this issue.

I think you dont required to declare SomethingItemPropertyListInfo as
complex element use simple element only

If it helps, I've been setting up a little testbed to give me more
diagnostics for this problem. I tried adding the "-D" (debug) flag to
the command line, and I've compared the output when I have "Dummy" and
when I don't.
When I have Dummy, I see this (relevant excerpts):

If you examine the differences, it's clear that without "Dummy", it
doesn't generate SomethingItemPropertyListInfo, assuming that
"SomethingPropertyInfo[]" will be used in its place.
With this additional information (which mostly just confirms what I
thought was happening), is there a straightforward way to get around
this?
If I move to generating code with Castor, will I be able to solve this
problem, hopefully without creating more problems?
