No, namespace prefixes are not significant in SOAP messages. They are just a shorthand.
Axis doesn't preserve them in any way (nor do most other toolkits that I am aware of). -- Tom Jordahl Adobe ColdFusion Team ________________________________ From: anup bansal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2007 3:39 AM To: axis-dev@ws.apache.org Subject: Re: Problem with the namespace prefix in Axis Hi All, Has anyone never faced this problem before? I debugged the Axis 1.4 code and found that during serialization of the input received, (Client respone handler), the URIs are mapped to default namespace prefix values and the original prefixes received with the mesages are ignored. Is there a way to get around this and make Axis use the same prefixes as recevied? Can I set some prameter in my client-config.wsdd to disable this? I have already tried the "enableNamespacePrefixOptimization" property but it too does not work? Please help me.. Its really very urgent.

Your handler should be to handle any prefix string. Anne On 2/27/07, anup bansal wrote: > Hi All, > > I am using Axis 1.4 for accessing a third party weservice.
