Re: calling MessageService sample with .NET client

Our requirement is to use raw XML. Its not like calling a method with arguments. We get SOAP request in a specific schema that cannot be mapped to wrapped style. For example, we get list of elements in the body where each element has some attributes. So I thought its easy to deal with raw xml. Moreover, there are quite a bit of interoperability problems with wrapped style (especially with arrays of complex types). Not sure when this will be fixed in Axis (and probably .NET). I am still struggling to make my app work with "wrapped" style webservices. I could not make de-serialization of array of complex bean work on .NET side. There were lot of threads and some people have suggested Eric Chijoke's fix but I can't use patches. It would be great if this problem is fixed in Axis.

For easiest interoperability with .NET, I suggest you use the "wrapped" style. .NET does allow you to send raw XML, but to do so you have to use a low-level API. In other words, you can't invoke the service using a WebReference. To do that you should use "wrapped" style.

I just deployed the sample MessageService that came with Axis and tried to access it from .NET client.

My service name is GoogleAccessConnector. But for now I only have the method that was provided by message sample of Axis. Here is the WSDL anyway. It is generated by Axis. I am new Message style services. So you can assume I am dumb and the approach may be wrong :) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
