Good day, I am successfully using Castor to marshall data to a SOAP endpoint. The endpoint accepts the data, runs its processing and returns what appears to be a valid response. However, Castor throws and unmarshalling exception. I am on Java 1.4 using Castor 1.2, Spring WS 1.5.2, Spring Core 2.5.4, and Axoim 1.2 6. I noticed that the last line before the exception is: 2008-06-11 19:14:54,437 [Thread-00000] (UnmarshalHandler.java:1434) DEBUG org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler - #startElement: ns:AgentRegisterResponse
So it seems that something doesn't like the SOAP-ENV namespace being used within the Body. Here is the response I am receiving: <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns="urn:RuleEngine:SOAP:TI:Event"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns:AgentRegisterResponse SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> </ns:AgentRegisterResponse> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> And the stack trace: org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorUnmarshallingFailureException: Castor unmarshalling exception: The namespace associated with the prefix 'SOAP-ENV' could not be resolved.; nested exception is org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException: The namespace associated with the prefix 'SOAP-ENV' could not be resolved. at org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorUtils.convertXmlException(CastorUti ls.java:50) at org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller.convertCastorException(C astorMarshaller.java:431) at org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller.unmarshalDomNode(CastorM arshaller.java:335) at org.springframework.oxm.AbstractMarshaller.unmarshalDomSource(AbstractMa rshaller.java:292) at org.springframework.oxm.AbstractMarshaller.unmarshal(AbstractMarshaller. java:122) at org.springframework.ws.support.MarshallingUtils.unmarshal(MarshallingUti ls.java:65) at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate$2.extractData(WebS erviceTemplate.java:337) at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.doSendAndReceive(W ebServiceTemplate.java:523) at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.sendAndReceive(Web ServiceTemplate.java:465) at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndRece ive(WebServiceTemplate.java:314) at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndRece ive(WebServiceTemplate.java:308) at com.ba.servicegovernor.webservice.WorkflowServiceGateway.sendPhoneReques t(WorkflowServiceGateway.java:130) at com.ba.servicegovernor.webservice.WorkflowServiceGateway.sendRequest(Wor kflowServiceGateway.java:63) at com.ba.servicegovernor.handler.EventHandler.sendToWorkflow(EventHandler. java:175) at com.ba.servicegovernor.handler.EventHandler.processEvent(EventHandler.ja va:151) at com.ba.servicegovernor.handler.EventHandler.run(EventHandler.java:117) at com.ba.servicegovernor.thread.ReusableThread.run(ReusableThread.java:160 ) Caused by: org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException: The namespace associated with the prefix 'SOAP-ENV' could not be resolved. at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.convertSAXExceptionToMarshalException (Unmarshaller.java:761) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:640) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:747) at org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller.unmarshalDomNode(CastorM arshaller.java:332) ... 14 more Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: The namespace associated with the prefix 'SOAP-ENV' could not be resolved. at org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.processAttributeList(UnmarshalHan dler.java:3321) at org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.startElement(UnmarshalHandler.jav a:1471) at org.exolab.castor.xml.util.DOMEventProducer.process(DOMEventProducer.jav a:246) at org.exolab.castor.xml.util.DOMEventProducer.process(DOMEventProducer.jav a:183) at org.exolab.castor.xml.util.DOMEventProducer.start(DOMEventProducer.java: 111) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:637) ... 16 more I appreciate any guidance you can provide on where to look for a root cause.
