Parse Complex WSDL Parameter Information

This is not pretty – but it gets the job done (hopefully ;). I based this code partly on the link you provided, and then added some recursion to parse out the different types included in the schema, as well as the inner elements and their data types. This definitely does not take into account all possiblities in an XML schema, but I think it exemplifies enough that you could add complexity to this if neccessary.

I hope this helps!!!!
