I added more logging on the web service server end just to see what's going on. The document that was prepared contains the namespace in the attribute. However, at the point where the client received, the namespace in the attribute is gone. Can someone please help? I feel that has something to do with the WSDL which I do not have very good understanding. Thanks. Danny

Hopefully someone with good knowledge can spot where I did wrong here. I am using XMLBeans binding (version 2.2). My Axis2 version 1.1. Basically I am having problem in getting the "personNameCommentText" attribute in the "PersonAlternateName" element. After my webservice is called, the server returns: ... <PersonAlternateName personNameCommentText="A" xmlns:ns1="http://jxdm.ws.doc.state.sc.us <http://jxdm.ws.doc.state.sc.us> "> <PersonGivenName>Rebecca</PersonGivenName> <PersonMiddleName>Mace</PersonMiddleName> <PersonSurName>Smith</PersonSurName> </PersonAlternateName> ... In my client side, I have code that looks like this: ... String commentText = al.getPersonNameCommentText(); log.debug("XML: "+al); ... The output is: <xml-fragment personNameCommentText="A" xmlns:ns1="http://jxdm.ws.doc.state.sc.us <http://jxdm.ws.doc.state.sc.us> " xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope <http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope> "> <ns1:PersonGivenName>Rebecca</ns1:PersonGivenName> <ns1:PersonMiddleName>Mace</ns1:PersonMiddleName> <ns1:PersonSurName>Smith</ns1:PersonSurName> </xml-fragment> BUT, the commentText is null, not the "A" that I am expecting!! Then, I just want to see what the client is expecting for the XML to look like, I added the code: ... al.setPersonNameCommentText("R"); log.debug("XML after change:\n"+al); ... Now the output added a namespace to the personNameCommentText. <xml-fragment personNameCommentText="A" ns1:personNameCommentText="R" xmlns:ns1="http://jxdm.ws.doc.state.sc.us <http://jxdm.ws.doc.state.sc.us> " xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope <http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope> "> <ns1:PersonGivenName>Rebecca</ns1:PersonGivenName> <ns1:PersonMiddleName>Mace</ns1:PersonMiddleName> <ns1:PersonSurName>Smith</ns1:PersonSurName> </xml-fragment> And, if I call getPersonNameCommentText(), I am getting "R". Any help is greatly appreciated. Danny
