[Xml-compile] XML::Compile::WSDL11 strange error state

[Brian E. Lozier]

Upon further examination, I'm not sure I'm getting hit with this
xsi:type thing, given that the wsdl doesn't contain xsi:type anywhere.
 It looks like the elements are defined using complexType, is that the
same thing?

An element is being defined like this:

<complexType name="OrderResponseItem" abstract="true">

Then a bit later:

 <s:complexType name="OrderResponseDetailLow">
        <s:complexContent mixed="false">
          <s:extension base="s1:OrderResponseItem">
            <s:sequence>
              <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
name="OrderStatus" type="s1:OrderStatus" />
            </s:sequence>
          </s:extension>
        </s:complexContent>
      </s:complexType>

So it's saying that OrderResponseDetailLow extends OrderResponseItem
and includes an OrderStatus.

I don't see anywhere where the wsdl states which type of thing will be
returned by the api call.  The return type depends on what value I
pass in (like DetailLevel=Low returns an OrderResponseDetailLow,
DetailLevel=High returns an OrderResponseDetailHigh).

I hacked up the wsdl file to include all the fields and if I always
request High it now works.  However, further on, any time this similar
thing is used (complexType that extends another complexType and adds
more fields to it using <sequence>) I have to hack the wsdl again.  I
believe I can get this project done using this method, I'm just
curious whether I'm doing anything wrong or if this is a bug,
unsupported feature, or if the api itself is doing something weird
that it shouldn't be.

Thanks again,
Brian
