URGENT: Problem sending array of complex type data to webservice.

Question

Hi,
I am writing an application in WebDynpo which needs to call External web service. This service has many complex data types. The function which I am trying to access needs some Complex data type array. When i checked the SOAP request i found that the namespace for the array type is getting blank values. Because of which SOAP response is giving exception.
The SOAP request is as below. For the <maker> which is an array ,the xmlns:tns='' is generated.
<mapImageOptions xsi:type='tns:MapImageOptions' xmlns:tns='http://www.themindelectric.com/package/com.esri.is.services.glue.v2.mapimage/'>
<dataSource xsi:type='xs:string'>GDT.Streets.US</dataSource>
<mapImageSize xsi:type='tns:MapImageSize'><width xsi:type='xs:int'>380</width><height xsi:type='xs:int'>500</height></mapImageSize>
<mapImageFormat xsi:type='xs:string'>gif</mapImageFormat>
<backgroundColor xsi:type='xs:string'>255,255,255</backgroundColor>
<outputCoordSys xsi:type='tns:CoordinateSystem' xmlns:tns='http://www.themindelectric.com/package/com.esri.is.services.common.v2.geom/'>
<projection xsi:type='xs:string'>4269</projection>
<datumTransformation xsi:type='xs:string'>dx</datumTransformation>
</outputCoordSys>
<drawScaleBar xsi:type='xs:boolean'>false</drawScaleBar>
<scaleBarPixelLocation xsi:nil='true' xsi:type='tns:PixelCoord'></scaleBarPixelLocation>
<returnLegend xsi:type='xs:boolean'>false</returnLegend>
<markers ns2:arrayType='tns:MarkerDescription[1]' xmlns:tns='' xmlns:ns2='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'>
<item xsi:type='tns:MarkerDescription'><name xsi:type='xs:string'></name>
<iconDataSource xsi:type='xs:string'></iconDataSource><color xsi:type='xs:string'></color>
<label xsi:type='xs:string'></label>
<labelDescription xsi:nil='true' xsi:type='tns:LabelDescription'>
</labelDescription><location xsi:type='tns:Point' xmlns:tns='http://www.themindelectric.com/package/com.esri.is.services.common.v2.geom/'>
<x xsi:type='xs:double'>33.67</x><y xsi:type='xs:double'>39.44</y>
<coordinateSystem xsi:type='tns:CoordinateSystem'>
<projection xsi:type='xs:string'>4269</projection>
<datumTransformation xsi:type='xs:string'>dx</datumTransformation>
</coordinateSystem></location></item>
</markers><lines xsi:nil='true'>
</lines><polygons xsi:nil='true'></polygons><circles xsi:nil='true'></circles><displayLayers xsi:nil='true'></displayLayers>
</mapImageOptions>
Another problem:
If the webservice is having overloaded methods , it is generating error for the second overloaded method.The stub file itself contains statment as follow:
Response = new();
can anyone guide me on this?
Thanks,
Mital.

I am having this issue as well.
From:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/ce993b45cb0a85e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
I see that:
The WSDL document in rpc-style format must also not use any soapenc:Array types; these are often used in SOAP code in documents with this format. soapenc:Array uses the tag <xsd:any>, which the Integration Builder editors or proxy generation either ignore or do not support.
You can replace soapenc:Array types with an equivalent <sequence>; see the WS-I  example under http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.0-2004-04-16.html#refinement16556272.
They give an example of what to use instead.
Of course I have been given a WSDL that has a message I need to map to that uses the enc:Array.
Has anyone else had this issue?  I need to map to a SOAP message to send to an external party.  I don't know what they are willing to change to support what I can do.  I changed the WSDL to use a sequence as below just to pull it in for now.
Thanks,
Eric
