Robert, You asked that SOAP 1.2 include a generic type for structs and arrays. The XMLP WG earlier decided to close Issue 297 by removing generics. The entire rationale for removing generics is available at [1], but an abreviated version is given here for ease of access. Essentially, the XMLP WG is of the opinion that generics are unnecessary in the Data Model. The issue was discussed among the implementors and among the xml-dist-app community without reaching any obvious consensus. In addition, feedback was asked by an ednote in Part 2, Section 2.3. The prevalent feedback was that generics be removed. Finally, XMLP WG implementors have confirmed they would welcome removing generics (with the exception of WebMethods, which prefered to keep generics but did not oppose the decision). Please let us know asap if you disagree. Jean-Jacques. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlp-comments/2002Oct/0016.html
