[jbossws-users] [JBossWS] - JAXB error when using different derived types in the same co

I have what seems to be a correct piece of SOAP being sent to JBossWS 1.0.4 that causes a binding exception. This only occurs when I send 2 different sub-class/derived types in the same container type. Sending each type independently (or several instances of the same type) works fine. In my example I have a Transaction type that contains an unbound number of Atoms, where Atom is an abstract type. There are 2 derivative of Atom, AtomType1 and AtomType2 which each extend Atom and add an additional sub-element element unique to the specialised type. (You can assume the namespaces/jax-rpc mapping is correct as when used independently from each other, the derived types bind fine.) My Types... | <complexType abstract="true" name="Atom"> | <sequence> | <element name="atom_id" type="nonNegativeInteger" /> | <element name="name" nillable="true" type="string" /> | </sequence> | </complexType> | | <complexType name="Transaction"> | <sequence> | <element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="atom" type="myns:Atom" /> | </sequence> | </complexType> | | | <complexType name="AtomType1"> | <complexContent> | <extension base="myns:Atom"> | <sequence> | <element name="atom_type_1_value" type="unsignedLong" /> | </sequence> | </extension> | </complexContent> | </complexType> | | <complexType name="AtomType2"> | <complexContent> | <extension base="myns:Atom"> | <sequence> | <element name="atom_type_2_value" type="unsignedLong" /> | </sequence> | </extension> | </complexContent> | </complexType> First example which is processed fine, and proves the type is bound correctly.
