I have recently used Axis2 1.2 wsdl2java to process some Dotnet specific WSDL to produce the necessary service classes to demonstrate polymorphism.

For example, in that WSDL, there is a base class (BaseRetObject), and a sub class (SubRetObject) which extends BaseRetObject.

<s:complexType name="BaseRetObject">
  <s:sequence>
    <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="baseRetStr" type="s:string" />
    <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="baseRetInt" type="s:int" />
  </s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
<s:complexType name="SubRetObject">
  <s:complexContent mixed="false">
    <s:extension base="tns:BaseRetObject">
      <s:sequence>
        <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="subRetStr" type="s:string" />
      </s:sequence>
    </s:extension>
  </s:complexContent>
</s:complexType>

There is a webmethod which simply returns the BaseRetObject. The (Java) service code creates a SubRetObject and returns it as a BaseRetObject. The (DotNet) client receives the BaseRetObject, checks to see its type (using C# "is" operator) and successfully casts it. TcpTrace shows that the return object is serialized as a SubRetObject so that all data is included.

The real problem that I am running into is that wsdl2java will not produce the necessary objects for SubRetObject unless it is used in a webmethod interface. Simply adding the SubRetObject definition to the WSDL does not influence wsdl2java to produce the associated classes. I had to add a webmethod stub that contained references to the subclass (SubRetObject) before wsdl2java was able to produce the correct service objects. Is there someway to generate objects for classes not included in a webmethod interface? I ran into the same problem in DotNet.

 thanks, Dave
