RE: Need help invoking complex web services

Hi!
Hi!
I am using WSIF in a BPEL Engine I wrote to do dynamic invocations of
web services.  If you are not familiar with BPEL, it reads wsdl and xsd
files and uses those to call the web services described therein.  WSIF
works well for our application.
I think when they say that some work may need to be done to handle all
complex types they are referring to parts of the schema definition that
most people do not use.  Even JAXB did not support all of the schema
definition until 2.0.

My first experiment with WSIF a few years ago was to modify this sample=20
to support complex types on the command line.
