Each schema in the JADE database can have a collection of Web service consumers, which are imported into JADE as subclasses of the
When importing a Web service consumer, StringArray and BinaryArray class entries are prefixed with the name of the consumer. This applies only when importing a consumer; reloading an existing consumer retains existing class names.

The specified length is preserved when the consumer is reloaded.
