The official version of WSIF can now be found on the Apache web site since WSIF was donated to Apache a few months ago. Version available from Alphaworks is no longer maintained and will be soon retired.
The Apache WSIF homepage can be found at: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/xml-axis-wsif/java/readme.htm?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html
Nightly builds are available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/axis/nightly/ The wsif-src contains source distribution and wsif-bin zip file contains a built wsif.jar along with the API javadoc.

WSIF does support complex types - of course XML schema support is limited (but very reasonable).
You may be referring to DynamicInvoker sample that does not support complex types however take look on AddressBook sample instead.
It is also possible to extend DynamicInvoker to support complex type but it will require some kind of intermediate representation of values that can handle any complex type (such as using JROM...)
