Help: SAXException Invalid element

[Tim Kitchens <tk...@Unwiredexpress.com>]

It seems there may be a problem with deserialization on the Axis client when using a hyphen in the name of elements that returned by the web service.  When I define the schema that results in the service returning the following SOAP envelope:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<soapenv:Body>
		<event xmlns="http://namespaces.anytype.com">
			<bos>
				<bo>
					<name>Fred</name>
				</bo>
			</bos>
		</event>
	</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

everything works fine.  Now, if I change JUST the NAMES of the "bos" and "bo" elements to "business-objects" and "business-object", respectively, resulting in the following envelope being returned by the service:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<soapenv:Body>
		<event xmlns="http://namespaces.anytype.com">
			<business-objects>
				<business-object>
					<name>Fred</name>
				</business-object>
			</business-objects>
		</event>
	</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

then, I get the following exception:

        [java] org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in ws.Event - business
objects
  [java] - Exception:

I'm guessing this is a bug, since I see no reason why simply changing an element name would have any impact on deserialization.  The "hyphenation" follows our company's naming conventions.  Is this a bug or is there some rule I'm unaware of here?  Meanwhile, I'll check the BeanDeserializer code to see whether I can spot the problem.

Thanks,
