Because XML Schema has no fixed-point or binary-coded decimal (BCD) type, in the xsd: namespace, ada2wsdl was designed with the destination xsd type as the 1st-class citizen and the corresponding Ada type derived from that. Floating point should never be utilized for money because floating point can be imprecise in the least-significant digits for large amounts of money that are expected to be accurate right down to the last 0.01 monetary unit. The closest emulation in XML Schema for Ada's fixed-point type would be a string in the WWW UI delivered to Ada via the ada2wsdl as a string then converted in Ada code to Ada's fixed-point type.

Also (especially for a bank), the Money type should always contain an accompanying monetary unit along with the fixed-point number as an Ada record.

package Bank is
   type IdMonetaryUnit is (EUR, GBP, RUB, USD);
   type StrMoney is String(1..15); -- Use this in wsdl with radix-point implicitly implied at 0000000000000.00 for "000000000000000".
   type Money is
       record
           Value  : delta 0.01 digits 15;
           IdUnit : IdMonetaryUnit;
       end record;
end Bank;

For a bank, I would recommend more than 15 digits. I think that 18 is the bare minimum in the real world when considering all monetary units used in banking; certainly some ISO or banking-industry standard would specify that minimum field size for use in practice.

type Money is delta 0.01 digits 18;
