Hi all,
I'm reading the WFS 2.0 spec and the Dispatcher to figure out which SOAP version
the dispatcher is able to handle and I'm getting confused.

The WFS 2.0 spec in Annex D, section D.4.1 says:

------------------------------------------------------------------

The elements above are declared in the namespace for the SOAP envelope
version 1.1:
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
Services that conform to this International Standard may optionally
support SOAP. For maximum interoperability, these
services shall support SOAP version 1.1 (see W3C SOAP) for web feature
service requests and responses.

------------------------------------------------------------------

So this means SOAP 1.1.

However if I look at the Dispatcher code on trunk I get:

static final String SOAP_NS = "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";;

That namespace is used instead by SOAP 1.2, and it is used for responses.

Now... the recognition of a SOAP request is mime type based,
application/soap+xml,
and it works so that the envelope is ignored, but the response is built with
http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope, which makes me think
that even if we receive a SOAP 1.1 request we're going to respond with a
SOAP 1.2 envelope.

I guess this might be a bug... but what I'm trying to understand
better is, what
really changes moving from 1.1 to 1.2 in the context of OGC services?
Is it just a namespace declaration or there is more, maybe different
error reporting,
different HTTP headers?

Cheers
Andrea
