Jwsc and map interface

Question

Hi All,
I would like to expose java.util.Map as a parameter using JAX-WS web service generated using jwsc. I am getting the following error while executing jwsc ant task,
*JWS Validation failed: [Type java.util.Map on JWS is not supported., Type java.util.Map on JWS is not supported.]*
Here's what I have,
Complex.java
@WebService(name="complex", targetNamespace="http://abcd.org.jaxws")
@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED, use=SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL)
@WLHttpTransport(contextPath="jaxws_complex", serviceUri="ComplexService")
public class Complex {
     @WebMethod
     @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(MyMapAdapter.class)
     public Map<Integer, String> processHashMap(Map<Integer, String> hashMap) {
          hashMap.put(1, "2");
          return hashMap;
I have written a custom MapAdapter to map the java.util.Map to a simple name/value string, but I think jwsc is not considering it while generating the web service.
MyMapAdapter.java
public class MyMapAdapter extends XmlAdapter<MyMapType, Map<Integer, String>> {
     @Override
     public MyMapType marshal(Map<Integer, String> v) throws Exception {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          MyMapType myMapType = new MyMapType();
          List<MyMapEntryType> entries = new ArrayList<MyMapEntryType>();
          for(Map.Entry<Integer, String> entry : v.entrySet()){
               entries.add(new MyMapEntryType(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()));
          myMapType.setEntry(entries);
          return myMapType;
     @Override
     public Map<Integer, String> unmarshal(MyMapType v) throws Exception {
          Map<Integer, String> Map = new HashMap<Integer, String>(v.getEntry().size());
          for (MyMapEntryType entry : v.getEntry())
               Map.put(entry.key, entry.value);
          return Map;
MyMapEntryType.java
public class MyMapEntryType {
     @XmlAttribute
public Integer key;
@XmlValue
public String value;
public MyMapEntryType() {
          super();
     public MyMapEntryType(Integer key, String value) {
          super();
          this.key = key;
          this.value = value;
     public Integer getKey() {
          return key;
     public void setKey(Integer key) {
          this.key = key;
     public String getValue() {
          return value;
     public void setValue(String value) {
          this.value = value;
MyMapType.java
public class MyMapType {
     List<MyMapEntryType> entry;
     public List<MyMapEntryType> getEntry() {
          return entry;
     public void setEntry(List<MyMapEntryType> entry) {
          this.entry = entry;

Any idea on how to enforce jwsc to understand the adapter I have written? Many thanks for your help.

Just found the solution after posting the question, it is related to build.xml, have updated with type="JAXWS" as below:
<target name="build-complex-service">
          <jwsc verbose="on" debug="on" srcdir="src" destdir="${complex.ear.dir}" >
                    <jws file="${complex.ws.file}.java" explode="true" type="JAXWS"/>
                    <binding dir="${binding.dir}" casesensitive="yes">
                         <include name="**/*.xml"/>
                    </binding>
          </jwsc>
     </target>
