please help - jaxrpc in jwsdp1.2 fails deserializing base/super class

Hello,
I have a .NET service that uses an abstract base class, where it properties are [XmlAttribute] annotated, meaning that the properties exposed in this abstract base class are serialized into xml attributes
instead of xml elements in the soap message by .NET.

I created client files using jwsdp1.2 wscompile with -f:searchschema on, the base class's serializer
seems understand those are xml attributes (see pasted generated code), but it appears the doDeserialize()
in the base class never get called at the runtime, the result is that those properties are not get set/deserialized at all on the client side - they are always null.

Same .NET services works properly with a Axis1.1 client.

I pasted some relevant lines from wsdl and wscompile generated files in this email, please let me know
whether this is a bug in jwsdp, or i some other flags i should used in wscompile? Any workaround for now?

Changing those properties to not [XmlAttribute] annotated, works in jwsdp, but we need this for backward compatibility. If [XmlAttribute] is used in a non base class, it also works on jwsdp.

l can provide more detailed info if needed to.

Thanks in advance!
Nan
