Error description

• When you invoke a web service from an integration service and
  are using more than one level of simple type inheritance for
  date, datetime, or time, you might see the following
  exception:
  
  <xsd:simpleType name="L1_Timestamp">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:dateTime"/>
  </xsd:simpleType>
  <element name="L2_Timestamp">
  <simpleType>
  <restriction base="Q1:L1_Timestamp"/>
  </simpleType>
  </element>
  
  The element L2_Timestamp is based on dateTime but with two
  levels of inheritance. As a result, you see the following
  exception at run time:
  
  
  com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: Attempt to
  deserialize element of simple type L2_Timestamp failed because
  its XML Schema type: L1_Timestamp is not one of: dateTime,
  date, or time.
  

Local fix

• do not use multiple levels of inheritance in the schemas
