Hey Jason,
Thanks. Tried it. Taking it off and setting the MinOccurs to 0 doesn't still pick up the default from the AR Server but returns a 500 error. So I'm stuck with having to define it as a DefaultValue in the WSDL or setting it in the Request envelope.

I thought that ? indicates no value. If however you leave ? for drop lists, the WSDL plugin does use the field default if it's a required field in the ARS. I tried the element with <element></element> and got the 500 error. Would that error go away if I changed the minoccurs on required character fields to 0 and define defaults to all those required character fields? I'm hoping it will.. I'll try that as a test to see..

While consuming a AR System published web service.. <<<RESOLVED>> Required (In XML minOccurrs = "1") means it has to have a value. All the MidTier does for required (I think) is validate that the element has data. I think all type checking and actual data validation is from the AR Server processes. For the ? issue, are you talking about what you see in soapUI? It is soapUI that puts in the ? for each field not the MidTier server. If you consume the WSDL with some other SOAP client you shouldn't see the ? in the fields. If you pass in ? in the field then you are passing in a valid character and the XML is satisfied.

While consuming a AR System published web service.. <<<RESOLVED>> ** Fred! You were bang on your buck there! It did turn out that the WSDL plugin barfed at the bad date and date time format. I didn't turn on any further logging but went on to correct the date format as per the standards documented at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime. So I corrected the regular Remedy like string of 01/22/2013 10:22:00 AM that I was sending to confirm the WSDL standard => 2013-01-22T10:22:00-09:00 for the Alaskan time zone, and the request went right through and created a Remedy record! I however do not like the way the WSDL plugin handles default values defined to Character fields that are required. It saves "?" to the field if you send <element>?</element> with the envelop. While it works perfect for defaults on drop down fields if the value for the drop down fields is left at <element>?</element>. Is that a known issue too? It should have treated the question mark as null but it takes it literally and commits the "?" as a value to that character field. Is this a possible bug?? I have tried <element></element> for required field and I get the 500 error so obviously it either requires me to put a value or at least leave the "?" in there. But leaving the "?" in there takes it as the literal value and does not replace it with the default in case of Character fields. I have not tried this with integer or real or decimal data types that are required but I'm expecting that to work correctly as the drop downs (which are integers) work correctly.

Log Level: Fine Log Viewer: File Log Format: Detailed Text Categories: Set All On You may be encountering an old bug I had found where an invalid date format will cause an internal error and a restart 1/18/2013 12:00:00 PM Should be invalid and error as it is not in the valid XML DateTime format http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2013 1:40 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Possible reasons for "500 - Internal server error." While consuming a AR System published web service.. ** Yes I agree the date time format used in SOAP is a little different than the one I sent with my request, but the error I'm getting is not because of that. It's a communication error. Once I am past the communication error, then I could go further. A colleague tried consuming a WS to see if we can at least consume, and that we can with no problems. For some reason there is a problem publishing. I will need to look at this on Monday when I get back, and may use your def as a test to see if that works since you have already tested it to be working. Thanks for your help. Appreciate you going out of your way to create a POC (proof of concept) that I could borrow to test. Something tells me it might possibly be a firewall issue although I did check to see if there is anything there. I'm not a security expert so I must have missed something when I checked the settings..
