The WSDL contained schema may come without global element definitios, like this

<schema targetNamespace="http://org.jboss.ws/marshall/rpclit/types/arrays/java/math" xmlns:tns="http://org.jboss.ws/marshall/rpclit/types/arrays/java/math" xmlns:soap11-enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<complexType name="BigDecimalArray">
<sequence>
<element name="value" type="decimal" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>

Instead the root element name is defined by the WSDL message part name, like this

<message name="StandardTypes_bigDecimalArrayTest">
<part name="arrayOfBigDecimal_1" type="ns8:BigDecimalArray"/>
</message>

I can see two possible solutions to this problem:

A) The WS layer generates a schema that contains element definitions for all root elements

B) The root element name can be given to the marshalling layer

Currently the second appraoch is beeing favoured, like this

if (value != null)

{ // Get the xsdSchema for the given type URL xsdURL = getSchemaLocationURL(serContext, xmlName, xmlType); // In this case the xmlName is not NS qualified. This may be the case when it is derived from // the WSDL message part name. All gloabal elements in the WSDL containd schema and in generated schema // are NS qualified, so we use the type's namespace as the most likely NS for the xmlName if (xmlName.getNamespaceURI().equals("")) xmlName = new QName(xmlType.getNamespaceURI(), xmlName.getLocalPart()); jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerImpl.JAXB_NAMESPACE_REGISTRY, serContext.getNamespaceRegistry()); jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerImpl.JAXB_SCHEMA_LOCATION, xsdURL); jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerImpl.JAXB_ROOT_QNAME, xmlName); }

StringWriter strwr = new StringWriter();
jaxbMarshaller.marshal(value, strwr);

String xmlFragment = strwr.toString();
return xmlFragment;

This needs to be discussed
