web service written in java but called in c#

I am trying to import a web service from another application into a custom asp.net application. However, it’s throwing an error at the moment. Have you seen the following error before (see below)?

Custom tool error: Unable to import WebService/Schema. Unable to import binding 'AuthenticateSoapBinding' from namespace 'http://site:80/LiveTime/WebObjects/LiveTime.woa/ws/Authenticate'. Unable to import operation 'connect'. Types must be declared at the top level in the schema. Please review schema type 'Map' from namespace 'http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap': element 'item' is using anonymous type declaration, anonymous type开发者_StackOverflow社区s are not supported with encoded SOAP.

Some initial research in google shows the following:

Java .Net Interop. Axis java.util.Map http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/DotNetInteropMapInfo

Which mentioned that the web service need to be changed. However, I don’t think this is going to happened. Any idea on how to get around this?

The following is the web service XML that I get the information from:
