Web Service can't read my SOAP

[Alex Parvan]

My WebService (developed using metro and wsdl-first) CAN read this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?><S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><S:Body>
    <ns2:uploadText xmlns:ns2="soapwebservices.jdevelop.eu">
        <text>asdfgh</text>
    </ns2:uploadText>
</S:Body></S:Envelope>

but CANNOT read this:

<?xml version="1.0"?><S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><S:Body>
    <uploadText xmlns="soapwebservices.jdevelop.eu">
        <text>asdfgh</text>
    </uploadText>
</S:Body></S:Envelope>

So if add the ns2 namespace, it's working. Why doesn't it work without it ? Is the second SOAP wrong ?
The second SOAP is created with delphi, so it should be correct. I have no problem getting something from the WS.

Please help,
Alex.

Hi!
This is a tricky one and I am not sure that what I say is correct, but I have a feeling that there is indeed a difference between the two SOAP messages as follows:

In the first SOAP message, with the ns2 namespace prefix, the <uploadText> element obviously belongs to the ns2 namespace, while the <text> element does not!

In the second SOAP message, where the namespace soapwebservices.jdevelop.eu is the default namespace, both the <uploadText> element as well as the <text> element belongs to the namespace soapwebservices.jdevelop.eu.

Hmm, actually, that does make sense. Because if i call an operation without a parameter like getTime(), the WS can read my SOAP, because getTime has correct xmlns and there is nothing inside it.

As soon as i can confirm this, or maybe find something else, i will post a reply here.
