The anytype element represents a choice of all globally known types. Before you map a port to an anyType element in a SOAP message, choose an available complex type or xs:string. If the WSDL or schema does not contain a complex type, the Developer tool replaces the anyType element type with xs:string.

To choose an element type in the Operation area, click

Choose

in the

Type

column for the anyType element. A list of available complex types and xs:string appears.
