Document/literal style wsdl with more than one port

Question

Recently I have changed wsdl style from rpc/encoded to document/literal as BPEL does not handle soapenc:arrayType. The wsdl contains 2 operations and few complex type definitions.
In BPEL Designer I have created a process that invokes all operations defined in the wsdl, but only one of them will have some data in the response message and the other one will have an empty message. On the other hand, when I use stub generation to invoke Web Service everything is working fine.
If I provide separate wsdl for each operation (in BPEL process I would have two partnerLinks instead of one) than it works fine.
Does this mean that BPEL does not handle document/literal style endpoints with more than one port (operation)?
I have tested this with the orabpel_2.0_J1_win32.exe and orabpel_2.0rc9_win32.exe. Web Services, used for this test, are deployed in Jboss 3.2.3 and axis-1_2beta3.
WSDL used as partnerLink:

Hi Dragana,
We definitely support the ability to call a web service that exposes two operations (document/literal or not).
Glancing through your WSDL, it looks good.
Could you please try to tunnel the second request and see 1) what data is sent to the service and 2) what data is returned by the service?
Can you please email us a reproduceable case so that we can help troubleshoot in parallel?
Thank you,
Edwin
