Xsd:element ref not working with jaxb

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to implement a simple web service based on jax-ws.
My probem is that binding does not working when I use the <xsd:element ref="..."/> attribute in the schema description.
Here is the web service implementation :
@Stateless()
@WebService(
serviceName="AlarmBeanService",
targetNamespace="http://two.one.net/jws/alarm/",
endpointInterface="net.one.two.jws.alarm.AlarmBeanPortType")
public class AlarmBean implements AlarmBeanPortType {
public AlarmCreateOut persist(AlarmCreateIn in) {
return new AlarmCreateOut();
My AlarmCreateIn message is defined in AlarmCreateIn.xsd :
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:c="http://two.one.net/jws/alarm/schema/common/"
targetNamespace="http://two.one.net/jws/alarm/schema/create/in/"
elementFormDefault="unqualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xsd:import namespace="http://two.one.net/jws/alarm/schema/common/" schemaLocation="../common/AlarmDataTypes.xsd"/>
<xsd:element name="AlarmCreateIn">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="c:alarm" minOccurs="0"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
This way it's not working, my "alarm" object in AlarmCreateIn is always null.
But it works if referencing my alarm object like in the following xsd :
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:alarm="http://two.one.net/jws/ctypes/alarm/"
     targetNamespace="http://two.one.net/jws/alarm/schema/create/in/"
     elementFormDefault="unqualified"
     attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
     <xsd:import namespace="http://two.one.net/jws/ctypes/alarm/" schemaLocation="../../ctypes/alarm/Alarm.xsd" />
     <xsd:element name="AlarmCreateIn">
          <xsd:annotation>
               <xsd:documentation>
               </xsd:documentation>
          </xsd:annotation>
          <xsd:complexType>
               <xsd:sequence>
                    <xsd:element name="alarm"      type="alarm:AlarmXsd"          minOccurs="0" />
               </xsd:sequence>
          </xsd:complexType>
     </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
Any ideas on what happen?
Thanks.

Most likely you chose the logical file instead of the correct file for the PSE editor. The one you can see, at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications, is the welcome screen. The actual editor is hidden in the Support Files folder. You want this one:
