                 Key: AXIS2-4401
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4401
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: adb
    Affects Versions: 1.5
            Reporter: P=C3=A9tur Run=C3=B3lfsson
            Priority: Minor


Currently, the xsi:type attribute is only declared for complex types. This =
means that if a method that returns xs:anyType returns an object of simple =
type (for example xs:string or xs:date), the client gets no type informatio=
n with the object. xsi:type attributes should always be declared for return=
 values for methods that have xs:anyType return types. The same applies whe=
n a method returns a complex type that contains a xs:anyType property.

Example response when xs:string is returned:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope=
/">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns=3D"http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
         <ns:return>Hello</ns:return>
      </ns:getAnyResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Response from same method when a complex type is returned:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope=
/">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns=3D"http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
         <ns:return xsi:type=3D"ax21:Value" xmlns:ax21=3D"http://ws.apache.=
org/axis2/xsd" xmlns:xsi=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <ax21:any xsi:nil=3D"true"/>
         </ns:return>
      </ns:getAnyResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
