SOAP: Creating a polymorphic Data Type

[andy.wagg]

I have a set of generated java classes from a supplied web service
definition. One of these classes represents a complex type which has an
attribute defined as a javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement. This is intended to
be polymorphic so different data types can be passed.

public class ItemValue {
protected java.lang.String diagnosticInfo;
protected javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement value;

public ItemValue() {
}

public javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement getValue() {
return value;
}

public void setValue(javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement value) {
this.value = value;
}
};

What I can't find is how do I create a SOAPElement to represent a
simple data type, eg. xsd:int, that i can then pass in.

Any help appreciated,

Andy
