Hi all, I am developing a web service using Axis 1.4 (the project is using this version rather than Axis 2) hosted on Tomcat 5.5.
If client sends a xml to Axis below, it works fine. Note, the "xmlns:sos" is defined twice. <sos:GetObservation service="SOS" version="1.0.0" xmlns:sos="http://www.opengis.net/sos/1.0";> <sos:offering xmlns:sos="http://www.opengis.net/sos/1.0";>au.edu.unimelb.csse</sos:offering> </sos:GetObservation> However, if I remove that redundant namespace declaration. Axis will throw error below. I notice that I have to explictly declare namespace for every XML tag that has a prefix, otherwise it will cause this error.
