Change a SOAP API Request Body

Question

I want to add the following content to the Soap request body when webservice is invoked.

<foo bar="baz">bar</foo>

I tried to update the generated code by the WSDL file.

public class MyService {
   public class bar {
      public String bar;
      private String[] bar_type_info = new String[] {'bar','http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema','string','0','1','true'};
      private String[] apex_schema_type_info = new String[] {'http://schema.myservice.com', 'false', 'false'};
      private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[] {'bar'};
   }

   public class foo {
      public MyService.bar bar;
      public String a;
      private String[] bar_type_info = new String[] {'bar','http://schema.myservice.com','bar','0','1','true'};
      private String[] a_att_info = new String[] {'a'};
      private String apex_schema_type_info = new String[] {'http://schema.myservice.com','false','false'};
      private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[] {'bar'};
   }
}

I only can get this message.

<foo a="b"><bar>baz</bar></foo>

How can I change the Apex code to remove <bar> tag from the SOAP request body?

This is just eyeballing, but I think what you're intending to do is the code below (warning: freehanded, no validating since I don't have the rest of your class). Instead you have created a child element named bar instead, and an attribute named a on the parent element, foo. You wanted an attribute(string) named bar.

public class MyService {
   public class foo {
      public String bar;
      private String[] bar_att_info = new String[] {'bar'};
      private String[] apex_schema_type_info = new String[] {'http://schema.myservice.com', 'false', 'false'};
      private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[] {'bar'};
   }
}
