Re: mapping complex type to OWL concept

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. 
I am sorry if I misunderstood you, but are you saying that if I will
have my complexType such as :

<complexType name="ArrayOf_xsd_string">
<complexContent>    
  <restriction base="soapenc:Array">      
       <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType"
       wsdl:arrayType="xsd:string[]"/>    
  </restriction>  
</complexContent>
</complexType>

then I will always have trouble in successfully executing the OWL-S
service? 
because I am still not clear whether this  possible and if yes
how?

currently I am just specifying as a string(which doesnot make sesnse,
however doesnt give any exception while executing which is improvement)

<profile:hasOutput>
      <process:Output rdf:ID="fetchDataReturn">
        <rdfs:label>fetchDataReturn</rdfs:label>
        <process:parameterType
        rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#anyURI">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string</process:parameterType>
      </process:Output>
    </profile:hasOutput>

and the service executes successfully, but returns nothing(
theoratically looks correct as the mapping is not proper)...

Thanks for your help.
