Thanks Thomas. I have determined that this happens when you include an Object type as either a parameter or a return type for a web method: ex. @webmethod public Object GetObject( Object obj ); Then the wsdl provides a schema for the entire construct of the java.lang.Object type and all of the nested attributes as well. I don't know if this is correct behavior as it seems that the "anytype" element should be used instead. I am a relative SOAP novice though. I will still post it to JIRA though: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1446 Thanks again, jay View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4000584#...
