Description

I have a WSDL which has an enumeration as the response type for a SOAP operation. From that, I am generating Java classes using the cxf-codegen-plugin with xmlbeans.
The generated service interface has a String as response type. If my implementation returns a String containing one of the specified enum values, I get an Exception (using CXF 2.3.11):

If I manually change the return type of the generated interface and my implementation from String to "org.apache.test.ETestResponseType.Enum", everything works well.

I could only test the wsdl2java generation with a newer CXF version, but 2.7.2 also generates a String as the response type.

I will attach a sample project.
