Extend the schema generation providing ability to generate wrapped array types

                 Key: AXIS2-4073
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4073
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: kernel
            Reporter: Detelin Yordanov


Currently the schema generator will create unwrapped array schema types, e.g. for a String[]:

<xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="stringArray" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

It would be valuable if it could also generate array types in wrapped format which is the default behaviour in .NET and JAX-WS, e.g.

<xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="stringArray" nillable="true" type="ArrayOfString"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfString">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="string" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

The wrapped format has certain benefits over the unwrapped one, more on this can be found in this article:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-array/ .

This option can possibly be configured with a parameter in the axis2 configuration (or per service level).
The parameter could be named "generateWrappedArrayTypes" or something like this. The default should be not to generate wrapped array types as it is right now providing backward compatibility.
