> The following comes from the BIAS spec: biasprofile-v1.0-csprd02
> Additionally, the WSDL exposed by an implementation shall not contain instances of xsd:any, xsd:anyType, or xsd:anyAttribute; these instances must be replaced with explicit schema contents. An example is the XML complex type, InformationType, which has xsd:any as its only child. This type is used to represent implementation-specific input data and return data. The children of InformationType must be replaced with explicit content. Doing so removes the ability to transmit unexpected or arbitrary data. Also, it provides a clear definition of information that a client needs to provide to the server,or expect to receive,to optimally perform an operation.
> This is also an issue for the SOAP service and its use of any.
> In practice with JAXB the xs:any element doesn't work well. The returned type is
> com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl
> Tried changing the XRD schema to use substitution groups - didn't work.
