xsi:type & base type in simpleType/restriction

[Daniel Aschwanden <da...@inodes.ch>]

Hi,

I configured the axis server to return xsi:types.
When the axis server returns a response (see the response snippet bellow) it 
omits the xsi:type for the elements with simpleTypes/restrictions (as the 
'loginState' in the following xsd snippet):

xsd snippet:
<xs:complexType name="loginResponse">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="loginState">
      <xs:simpleType>
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
          <xs:enumeration value="success"/>
          <xs:enumeration value="undefinedError"/>
          <xs:enumeration value="unableToEstablishLink"/>
          <xs:enumeration value="entityNotDefined"/>
        </xs:restriction>
      </xs:simpleType>
    </xs:element>
    <xs:element name="additionalInformation" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

response snippet:
<ns3:loginResponse 
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:ns3="urn:NORA">
  <loginResponse xsi:type="ns4:loginResponse" xmlns:ns4="urn:NORA:Schema">
    <loginState>success</loginState>
    <additionalInformation xsi:type="xsd:string">foo</additionalInformation>
  </loginResponse>
</ns3:loginResponse>

What is the reason that axis does not return a xsi:type for the elements with 
simpleType/restrictions?
How can I convince axis to return a xsi:type attribute?
eg. <loginState xsi:type="xsd:string">success</loginState> in the example 
above?

Any hints would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Dan

It can only return an xsi:type if you give that type a name, rather than
make it anonymous.
