I'm having trouble calling a webMethods web service because Axis is not generating a SOAP message with typed array items. For example:
<?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";> <soapenv:Body> <ns1:receiveSOAP2 soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns1="http://leonardo/mpruett.webService";> <SimpleAPIDoc href="#id0"/> </ns1:receiveSOAP2> <multiRef id="id0" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xsi:type="ns2:__SimpleAPIDoc" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns2="http://localhost/mpruett/webService/receiveSOAP2";> <DoubleList1 xsi:type="soapenc:Array" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[1]"> <item>0.0</item> </DoubleList1> </multiRef> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> The <item> in <DoubleList1> does not have a xsi:type, and thus webMethods returns an error to me. However, change if I change the xml: <?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";> <soapenv:Body> <ns1:receiveSOAP2 soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns1="http://leonardo/mpruett.webService";> <SimpleAPIDoc href="#id0"/> </ns1:receiveSOAP2> <multiRef id="id0" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xsi:type="ns2:__SimpleAPIDoc" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns2="http://localhost/mpruett/webService/receiveSOAP2";> <DoubleList1 xsi:type="soapenc:Array" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:double[1]"> <item xsi:type="xsd:double">0.0</item> </DoubleList1> </multiRef> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ... and manually post it to the server, webMethods consumes it correctly. It's not clear to me if this is a problem with Axis or webMethods. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this might be happening? Is there a way to get Axis to generate the SOAP message with typed array items? Thanks, Chris Pruett.
