Using schema munging it is generally possible to generate a schema for soap-enc that can be used in a validating parser, *except* for arrays. If the name was fixed then this would resolve that problem. Currently there is no way to munge a soap-enc schema into a validatable schema because of the array element names being allowed to differ from the schema definition. I feel that soap implementors should not have to be concerned with validating a message that can be described by the schema language when a validating parser could do it instead. Most toolkits are still lacking full validation simply because they cannot delegate it to a parser. I always wondered why they are allowed to be different and what benefit it brings? Such a simple change would also make the message more predictable and also possibly aid interoperability (at least it wouldn't hinder it). Pete
