accepting a return type of Void

[Steve Maring <ba...@yahoo.com>]

What is the proper way to specify a return type of
void?

I'm writing a doc/literal web service.  One of the
operations has a void return type.  I had not
specified a Response wrapper in the types of my WSDL. 
So I end up getting:

org.xml.sax.SAXException: Deserializing parameter
'addPersonRequestResponse':  could not find
deserializer for type
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Void

I figured that maybe the BeanSerializer might help
here, so I tried to specify a Response wrapper type
containing xsd:anyType, but that didn't generate the
proper typemapping.

Sample WSDL follows.

Many Thanks.
