You need to fix the bug in the service that requires specific namespace prefixes. Most soap toolkits won't give you the flexibility to specific specific namespace prefixes (because they don't matter).

I' ve some troubles with my namespace. I use a the tool wsdl2java for generating my java class. Here is the beginning of my wsdl file, where are defined the different namespace : <wsdl:definitions targetNamespace='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex' xmlns:wsm='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex' xmlns:wsa='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing' xmlns:wsdl='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/' xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/";> .... ________________________________________________________________ My troubles are with my the prefix "wsm". I have to use this specific prefix.But with my generate java code, I don't find this prefix in my SOAP messages. First I will show you the required SOAP message and then the SOAP message obtain with my code. I'm sure I use the good wsdl file Here is a well formed SOAP message : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing"; xmlns:wdp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/devprof"; xmlns:wsm="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex"; xmlns:wsd="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/02/discovery";> <SOAP-ENV:Header> <wsa:To>uuid:00001f90-0000-1000-8000-000bcd4ab3de</wsa:To> <wsa:Action>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex/MetadataExchange/G etMetadataRequest</wsa:Action> <wsa:MessageId>uuid:65cb6464-d758-11d9-b16f-000bcd4ab3de</wsa:MessageId> <wsa:ReplyTo><wsa:Address>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressi ng/role/anonymous</wsa:Address></wsa:ReplyTo> </SOAP-ENV:Header> <SOAP-ENV:Body id="_0"> <wsm:GetMetadata> <wsm:Dialect>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/devprof/Relationship< /wsm:Dialect> </wsm:GetMetadata> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Here, is my obtained SOAP Message : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing";> <soapenv:Header> <wsa:MessageID soapenv:mustUnderstand="0">uuid:7ed58220-0a64-11da-aa4d-bc6f8a64de0c</ws a:MessageID> <wsa:To soapenv:mustUnderstand="0">http://localhost:8085/</wsa:To> <wsa:Action soapenv:mustUnderstand="0">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex/Met adataExchange/GetMetadataRequest</wsa:Action> <wsa:From soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"> <wsa:Address>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/role/anony mous</wsa:Address> </wsa:From> <wsa:ReplyTo soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"> <wsa:Address>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/role/anony mous</wsa:Address> </wsa:ReplyTo> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <GetMetadata xmlns=""> <ns1:Dialect xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex";>http://schemas.xml soap.org/ws/2004/08/devprof/ThisModel</ns1:Dialect> </GetMetadata> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> So, As you can see in my SOAP message the "wsm" prefix is replaced by the ns1. I know that normally a translation is made and only the URL : "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex"; is important. But I need an exact matching with wsm for my application : <wsm:GetMetadata> <wsm:Dialect>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/devprof/Relationship< /wsm:Dialect> </wsm:GetMetadata> What 's possible in order to force the "wsm" prefix. Do I modify the Wsdl2java tools or modify the wsdl file ? I can send my complete wsdl file if you need. Thanks in advance. Regards Raphael Jacquemin
