Wrong element appearing in soap message

[Akram Chotu]

I have below wsdl generated using AXIS 1.2 Final :

Now when I deploy the service using AXIS 1.2 Final and generate the
response I am getting below soap response from AXIS

<?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>
        <getEROCResponse xmlns="http://ws.xml.com/wsdl/GRT">
           <getEROCReturn>
              <returnCode>RETURN CODE</returnCode>
              <getRRList>
                 <getRRList>
                    <discRate>100.0</discRate>
                    <seqNumber xsi:nil="true"/>
                 </getRRList>
              </getRRList>
           </getEligibleROCReturn>
        </getEligibleROCResponse>
     </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>

instead of

<?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>
        <getEROCResponse xmlns="http://ws.xml.com/wsdl/GRT">
           <getEROCReturn>
              <returnCode>RETURN CODE</returnCode>
              <getRRList>
                 <item>
                    <discRate>100.0</discRate>
                    <seqNumber xsi:nil="true"/>
                 </item>
              </getRRList>
           </getEligibleROCReturn>
        </getEligibleROCResponse>
     </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>

The element name should be <item> instead of <getRRList> inside <getRRList>.
Can anyone please suggest the reason for this. How actually response
element names are created by AXIS ? Can we control the elements name
while generating soap message using AXIS? Thanks in advance for your
time and reply.

For one stop using overloaded names � it confuses some of the Axis tools (it shouldn't but that's a different matter). For instance:

<wsdl:message [B]name="getEROCResponse"[/B]>
  <wsdl:part element="intf:getEROCResponse" name="parameters"/>
</wsdl:message>

name="getEROCResponse is also in the "intf" namespace. Use something like this instead:

<wsdl:message [B]name="getEROCout"[/B]>
  <wsdl:part element="intf:getEROCResponse" name="parameters"/>
</wsdl:message>

Get rid of any kind of name overloading in the WSDL and see if the problem still occurs.

See Axis 1.2 or 1.3 Putting Service Params in SOAP Header Section

Thank you for the response. The wsdl has been generated by AXIS 1.2.1 and I have not handcrafted the wsdl after axis generated. Still any thoughts?

[Peer Reynders]

Fix the WSDL - use WSDL2Java and see if the problem goes away.

After you deploy, you can view the wsdl on the server. Is it the same as the wsdl you pasted above? (I am assuming, based on what you said above, that you generated the wsdl you pasted above, before you deployed.)

The wsdl generated dynamically by AXIS and the wsdl generated using JAVA2WSDL are same. My solution seems to be bug in AXIS.
