Using complex objects in SOAP requests

I'm looking to consume a SOAP web service which requires an object to be passed as a parameter e.g.

<cfset someVariable = createObject("webservice", "http://www.example.com/webservice")>

Which has a method

someMethod(org.example.schemas._2004._07.example_api_objects.Example)

Example is a complex object with a number of properties, methods etc. I can access the relevent stub file relating to Example in ColdFusion10\cfusion\stubs\WS403970439_1\org\example\schemas._2004._07.example_api_objects and have found that if this is added to the class path I can use the following:

<cfset someExample = CreateObject("java", "org.example.schemas._2004._07.example_api_objects.Exampler").init()>
<cfset someVariable.someMethod(someExample)>

I'm sure I should be able to create the someExample object directly through ColdFusion without needing to add the relevant stub files to the classpath, but I haven't been able to do this - does anyone know how this might be possible?

<cfset someExample = someVariable.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass('org.example.schemas._2004._07.example_api_objects.Example').newInstance() />

Then just use the setters and getters on the someExample object to set your values...

Doing it the other way is not robust enough. What if the wsdl changes?
