SSOAP: arguments passed as

Hi,

I have a SOAP service, provided by BioMoby
which I'd like to call via SSOAP.

My service breaks during genSOAPClientInterface()
       
        genSOAPClientInterface(def=service, verbose = TRUE)
        Operation MassBank_Simple_2
        Error: Cannot resolve SOAP type in empty context

Problem seems to be that there are no <types> defined in the WSDL,
and that the service passes input/output as a single XML BLOB
in the body (full WSDL below):

         <wsdl:input name="MassBank_Simple_2Request">
                <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="..." namespace="msbi"
         </wsdl:input>

Any ideas ? Would I have to hack genSOAPClientInterface()
or are there simpler ideas ? Alternatively, what changes
would be needed to the WSDL ?

Yours,
Steffen
