Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. see attached wsdl, generate code from that
2. call the Hyper9Service.saveJob method using a DataCollectionJob as the jobData parameter
3. Notice the <jobData> element doesn't indicate that it is of the type DataCollectionJob which is a class that extends AbstractJob.

Actual Results: here is the envelope

<SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<sch:saveJob xmlns:sch="http://www.hyper9.com/ws">
<sch:jobData>
<sch:description>
</sch:description>
<sch:group>
Data Collection
</sch:group>
<sch:id xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
<sch:name>
Config-4a6ff5ae-2e8e-4af7-9e97-f70c68dffc94
</sch:name>
<sch:owner xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
</sch:jobData>
</sch:saveJob>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

Expected Results: This is what it should look like

<SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<sch:saveJob xmlns:sch="http://www.hyper9.com/ws">
<sch:jobData xsi:type="DataCollectionJob" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
<sch:description>
</sch:description>
<sch:group>
Data Collection
</sch:group>
<sch:id xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
<sch:name>
Config-4a6ff5ae-2e8e-4af7-9e97-f70c68dffc94
</sch:name>
<sch:owner xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
</sch:jobData>
</sch:saveJob>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

Workaround (if any): Hack up the BaseHyper9Service.as class' "call" method to specifically inject the text into the soap envelope
