AXIS XML calling .Net Web Service

[Lenin_Tony]

Hi,
I am attempting to call a very basic "HelloWorld" .Net WS using AXIS. The XML submitted from my AXIS client looks like

<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:HelloWorld soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/">
<p_name xsi:type="xsd:string">John</p_name>
</ns1:HelloWorld>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

While this invokes the service it does not seem to pass the parameter in. I assumed this was because the p_name parameter was not qualified so when I manually modify the XML to

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:HelloWorld xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/">
<ns1 _name xsi:type="xsd:string">John</ns1 _name>
</ns1:HelloWorld>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and submit this via a SOAP Tool I have it works fine. My question is how do I qualify the parameter with the ns1: qualification in code?

Also do child entities not inherit the namespace of their parent? i.e. Should the p_name parameter need qualification? (obviously it does but I don't really understand why)

Any help greatly appreciated.
