[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - JBWS-1260 and WSDL to Java Array Mappings

I am currently working on JBWS-1260, I have a set of 27 different WSDLs that I have put through wscompile and I am then putting through wstools to compare the generated artifacts. Whenever wscompile encounters an element with a maxOccurs greater than '0' e.g. | <complexType name='TelephoneNumber'> | <sequence> | <element name='number' nillable='true' type='string' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> | </sequence> | </complexType> | The generated jaxrpc mapping has it mapped as: - | <java-xml-type-mapping> | <java-type>java.lang.String[]</java-type> | <anonymous-type-qname>http://test.jboss.org/ws/jbws1260/types:Telephone... | <qname-scope>complexType</qname-scope> | </java-xml-type-mapping> | This apears to be because of the following from the Web Services for J2EE 1.1 specification: -anonymous wrote : | | 3. If element E has a maxOccurs attribute greater than 1, then it also has a 'hidden' anonymous type called A. A is an array of the enclosed type. The qname-scope of A is complexType and the name of A is... | a. If E has a name attribute, then the name of A is "E[,]" where E is the value of E?s name attribute. The name is entered as an anonymous-type-qname. | b. If E has no name attribute, then the name of A is "R[,]" where R is the name of the referent element. The name is entered as an anonymous-type-qname. And the examples in the specification apear to confirm this. Is there any reason why we do no generate these mappings at all? Or should this be added?
