SoapTypeAttribute causing problems with inherited classes

[Kevin Schneider]

I am trying to use a web service written in Java but I get the
following error message (the names have been changed to protect the
innocent):

"Member 'ChildClassVO.lastUpdateDate' hides inherited member
'ParentClassVO.lastUpdateDate', but has different custom attributes."

The relevant snippets from the "reference.cs" file for web reference
are:

[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("PsapCo ntactVO",
"java:level3.enterprise.tai.valueobjects.psap" )]
public class ChildClassVO : ParentClassVO {

/// <remarks/>
public string lastUpdateDate;

/// <remarks/>
public long ChildAttribute;

}

[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("Parent ClassVO",
"java:level3.enterprise.tai.valueobjects")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapIncludeAttribute(type of(ChildClassVO))]
public class ParentClassVO {

/// <remarks/>
public string lastUpdateDate;
}

The issue seems to be with the two values
"java:level3.enterprise.tai.valueobjects.psap" and
"java:level3.enterprise.tai.valueobjects" in the SoapTypeAttribute for
both classes not matching. The guys who wrote the web service and I
are on the same team so we were able to experiment a bit and found if
we moved the ParentClassVO to the same level as the ChildClassVO on
the java side I have no problem.

Has anybody run into a similar problem and besides moving the
ParentClassVO, what is the solution? I'd like to be able to generate
the web service proxy using VS.NET but not have to modify if each time
I have to regenerate it.
