Why does Axis2 return null values for “any” types in a complex/sequence structure when using wsdl2java?

I tried using axis2 1.6 (and nightly 1.7) to generate Java code from the WSDL (very bottom of this page) using the following command:
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
$ wsdl2java.sh -uri test.wsdl -d adb -u -S src/ -p mypackage --noBuildXML
This works with some outputted warnings:
[WARN] No schemaLocation for import of http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/; compilation may fail
[WARN] No schemaLocation for import of ; compilation may fail
[WARN] Type TimeZone missing!
[WARN] Type EnumeratedValue missing!
...
Then the code compiles and runs fine without any exceptions. However, when I call #ListDispatches() (or #GetDispatch()), it will get an array of 5 dispatches, but all of the data in each dispatch will have null values, specifically #getIdentifier(), #getClient(), #getSupplier(), etc. for each dispatch will be null.
I believe this has to do with the BaseModel (and EnumeratedValue and FlagValue) using "any" types in the schema. This WSDL was provided to us by the customer, so we would like to take the path of least resistance. What are the least amount of changes we would need to make to the WSDL/etc. to get this to work? The raw XML does have values in it, using this method to get the raw XML data:
responseItem.getOMElement(Response.MY_QNAME,OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory()).toStringWithConsume();
I've tried changing the "any" types (3 lines) to be elements of types anyType/String and removing them completely -- but no dice. I've tried using xmlbeans instead of adb, but it just throws an exception about malformed attributes when I call wsdl2java. I've also tried passing -Eosv and -b to wsdl2java. Lastly, I've tried setting various options:
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(Constants.Configuration.ENABLE_MTOM,Constants.VALUE_FALSE);
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(Constants.SERVICE_TCCL,Constants.TCCL_COMPOSITE);
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(HTTPConstants.CHUNKED,Constants.VALUE_FALSE);
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(Constants.Configuration.ENABLE_REST,Constants.VALUE_FALSE);
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(Constants.Configuration.CONTENT_TYPE,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(Constants.Configuration.MESSAGE_TYPE,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
Please help! Thanks!

Solution
Ultimately, I ended up just having the customer change their WSDL appropriately to remove the "any" types, and it now works.
However, I think I could have resolved this using the JAXB databinding as I've read it has the "best" implementation of "any" types, but because there was already a lot of development relying on the ADB databinding, I didn't want to change this.
