SOAPElement, JAX-RPC and Axis

Hi,

    The IBM WAS 5.1 webservices implementation (which appears to have
used Axis as a starting point) maps unknown / unsupported XML types to
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement . A reading of the JAX-RPC 1.1 spec
indicates that this is what the spec specifies. Axis 1.2, however
seems to map everything that I can throw at it to beans. This seems to
indicate that schema constraints are not being supported very well
(for example xsd:choice is being reduced to a sequece, etc). Why does
Axis choose to not use SOAPElement for such cases?

Thanks,
Kenneth
