Description

Here is an example of WSDL complexType with any element:

<complexType name="SomeType">
<sequence>
<element name="arg1" type="xsd:int"/>
<any maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>

Here are some problems:

• In generated Javascript this xsd:any element is marked as "required", while we have minOccurs="0"
• Deserializer of this xsd:any element goes into infinite loop when there is nothing that can be threaten as xsd:any
• Serializer also thinks of this xsd:any as required element and throws exception if it is null

Expected behavior:

• xsd:any should be threaten as optional element
• parsing of XML with xsd:any element in WSDL should not hang
