Axis 1.2.1 and Microsoft Office 2003 Web Services Toolkit interoperability

[Nicklas Karlsson]

Hello,

  I have deployed a proto for a WS in Axis 1.2.1 that is working just fine with a dummy Axis client but I have some problems getting it to work with the O2003 Toolkit. The wizard finds the WS just fine and generates the code but when running it an error occurs when initing the service:

"SoapMapper:The schema definition with a targetnamespace of http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ for
SoapMapper string could not be found HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error - WSDLOperation:Initialization
of a SoapMapper for operation dump failed HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error - WSDLOperation:
Initializing of the output messaged failed for operation dump HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error"

I am quite the noob when it comes to XML and WS :-/ Is it something with the namespace/soapenc or? It would be nice if I could present an Excel view of  the data generated in Axis to our customer. It is supposed to return an array of Product objects (containing only a string attribute for now).

Thankful for any assistance!,

The wsdl generated by Axis is:
