Consider a simple web service method: | @WebMethod | void foo (@WebParam(name="param") String param) | When generating the WSDL using wsgen, and inspecting it in SoapUI, I notice that a primitive type (like an int) won't appear as optional, but an object reference does. In some cases, I would like to declare the parameter as required. I thought I could do something like: | @WebMethod | void foo (@WebParam(name="param") @XmlElement(nillable=false, required=true) String param) | Alas, this doesn't even compile because I can't use XmlElement for a method parameter... I'm pretty sure that the optional interpretation is coming from the minOccurs="0" attribute on the xs:element. Is there a way that I can control this?
