document/literal namespace troubles

[Tom Damon]

We are trying to write a SOAP server that will talk to MS .Net, WebSphere,
and AXIS clients using the document/literal style. However, there seems to
be some disagreement as to how namespaces should be handled within the SOAP
body. All clients were generated using the WSDL attached below. For the
AXIS client, I used the WSDL2JAVA tool in beta 2 of the AXIS toolkit. The
.Net client generates the following request:

<soap:Body>
<XTCP211_INPUT_AREA xmlns="http://www.fds.com/schemas/XTCP211";>
� <XTCP211_IN_SERVICE>XTCP211</XTCP211_IN_SERVICE>
</XTCP211_INPUT_AREA>
</soap:Body>

However, the AXIS client generates it a little differently:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<XTCP211_INPUT_AREA xmlns="http://www.fds.com/schemas/XTCP211";>
     <XTCP211_IN_SERVICE xmlns="">XTCP211</XTCP211_IN_SERVICE>
</XTCP211_INPUT_AREA>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

The AXIS client is forcing "XTCP211_IN_SERVICE" into a blank namespace, so
the server does not recognize it when it parses the request. It seems to me
that since the element is defined within the namespace, the client should
not override it when building the request. Am I missing something?

Here is the WSDL:
