Best way to do arrays in gsoap, considering WSDL compliance and performance

I'm using gsoap to generate an XML SOAP parser and WSDL grammar, and was wondering what is the recommended way to express a static array that is both fast to parse and generates a corresponding WSDL that passes all the validation tests (like Eclipse WSDL Validator or NetBeans Validate XML).

If I use this input into gsoap:

struct ns__ArrayOfSomeInts { xsd__int ints[10]; };

I get this resulting WSDL (within definitions/types/schema tags):

  <complexType name="ArrayOfSomeInts">
   <sequence>
     <element name="ints" type="ns:Array10Ofxsd__int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" nillable="true"/>
   </sequence>
  </complexType>
  <complexType name="Array10Ofxsd__int">
   <complexContent>
    <restriction base="SOAP-ENC:Array">
     <attribute ref="SOAP-ENC:arrayType" WSDL:arrayType="xsd:int[]"/>
    </restriction>
   </complexContent>
  </complexType>

Running this through NetBeans "Validate XML" gives this error:

ERROR: src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'SOAP-ENC:Array' to a(n) 'type definition' component.

Eclipse WSDL Validator gives these two errors:

WS-I: (BP2108) An Array declaration uses - restricts or extends - the soapenc:Array type, or the wsdl:arrayType attribute is used in the type declaration.
WS-I: (BP2122) A wsdl:types element contained a data type definition that is not an XML schema definition.

I can clean up these errors by changing the gsoap code to define a dynamic array as such:

struct ns__ArrayOfSomeInts { int __size; xsd__int *ints; };

(with corresponding WSDL:)

  <complexType name="ArrayOfSomeInts">
   <sequence>
     <element name="ints" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
   </sequence>
  </complexType>

But now I've lost the performance gains of using a static array. Is there another way to keep performance while maintaining compliance?
