:base64

Represents a Base 64 value, will contain the binary bytes of a Base 64 value sent by the caller

:bool

Represents a boolean value, whatever is passed will be cast to boolean (true, ‘1’, ‘true’, ‘y’, ‘yes’ are taken to represent true; false, ‘0’, ‘false’, ‘n’, ‘no’ and nil represent false)

For structured types, you’ll need to pass in the Class objects of ActionWebService::Struct and ActiveRecord::Base derivatives.
