ComplexType HOWTO-defined WSDL list, return from service?

Question

How do you define a list of complex type objects in WSDL?

I have a pretty simple WSDL with 2 complex types

<xsd:complexType name="itemProperty">
    <xsd:all>
        <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string" />
                <xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:string" />
                <xsd:element name="type" type="xsd:string" />
    </xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>

Then I try to create a list of this complexType, like this:

<xsd:complexType name="itemPropertyList">
    <xsd:complexContent>
        <xsd:restriction base="SOAP-ENC:Array">
            <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="item" type="tns:itemProperty"
                    maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" />
            </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>

I intend to use this list

<message name="getListRequest"></message>
<message name="getListResponse">
    <part name="return" type="tns:itemPropertyList" />
</message>
<operation name="getList">
    <documentation>Returns an array.</documentation>
    <input message="tns:getListRequest" />
    <output message="tns:getListResponse" />
</operation>

Instead of a list of items like itemProperty, I get this answer, no matter what options I tried (including replacing the base item with explicit string elements)

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:getListResponse>
    <return SOAP-ENC:arrayType="ns2:Map[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
    <item xsi:type="ns2:Map">
    <item>
        <key xsi:type="xsd:string">name</key>
        <value xsi:type="xsd:string">name_4c3b38b0b77ae</value>
    </item>
    <item>
        <key xsi:type="xsd:string">value</key>
        <value xsi:type="xsd:string">name_4c3b38b0b77ee</value>
    </item>
    <item>
        <key xsi:type="xsd:string">type</key>
        <value xsi:type="xsd:string">name_4c3b38b0b782b</value>
    </item>
    </item>
    </return>
    </ns1:getListResponse>
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Any ideas? What is this ns2: card? It haunted me for more than a week!
