Yes, absolutely correct.
If you modify the generated code for the client side proxy, to remove or
comment out :
[return: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("return")]
And insert
[return: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("return",
Namespace="")]
Then re-compile and run, what do you get?
---
For some reason the XML generated by AXIS is not agreeing with the XML
expected by .NET. And therefore one (or both) of them is not agreeing
with the WSDL.
Let me ask you this:
When you generate the .NET client-side proxy (using wsdl.exe) , what
input WSDL do you use? The initial static WSDL file? Or, the
dynamically generated WSDL from http://whatever/AxisService?wsdl ?
Also,
As you know it is possible to change the mapping between types and XML
elements using AXIS' deploy.wsdd file, to set a different namespace.
Are you doing this?
In the deploy.wsdd, there should be an <operation> element for each
webmethod. This:
<operation
name="echoString"
qname="operNS:echoString"
xmlns:operNS="urn:LookupBorrower"
returnQName="return"
xmlns:retNS="urn:LookupBorrower"
returnType="rtns:string"
xmlns:rtns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
soapAction=""
>
...will give you a xmlns="" on the <output> element. Notice the
returnQName="output"
attribute in the above, which indicates an element in the default
(presumably blank) namespace.
In contrast, if you want the <output> element to be placed into the
namespace urn:LookupBorrower, then you need this:
<operation
name="echoString"
qname="operNS:echoString"
xmlns:operNS="urn:LookupBorrower"
returnQName="retNS:return"
xmlns:retNS="urn:LookupBorrower"
returnType="rtns:string"
xmlns:rtns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
soapAction=""
>
Notice the returnQName is now qualified with a prefix. Since this prefix
refers to the same namespace as used in the response element, namely
urn:LookupBorrower, the returned xml will be:
<echoStringResponse xmlns="urn:LookupBorrower">
<return>Hi there</return>
</echoStringResponse>
...which is what you were hoping for, I think.
---
Boil it down: the namespace you tell AXIS to use for your return
elements, must be the same as the namespace you tell .NET to use for
those elements. It can be blank (xmlns=""), or it can be non-blank.
It just has to be the same on each side. Starting from WSDL first
generally does this. If you tweak the deploy.wsdd, or the in-line code
attributes on the .NET side, you can move things around.

Subject: RE: Empty namespace - again
Hi Dino,
I don't like to live dangerously so I did start with the WSDL first,
then wsdl2java, then tested my solution axis - axis, finally used Visual
C#.net to pull in a Web reference to my service and let it build
everything.
The underlying code it built looks very similar to what you attached:
/// <remarks/>
[System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("",
RequestNamespace="urn:LookupBorrower",
ResponseNamespace="urn:LookupBorrower",
Use=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal,
ParameterStyle=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)
]
[return: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("return")]
public string echoString(string inputString) {
object[] results = this.Invoke("echoString", new object[]
{inputString});
return ((string)(results[0]));
}
So all looks fine, but even though the SOAP looks ok when intercepted:
<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>
<echoStringResponse xmlns="urn:LookupBorrower">
<return xmlns="">Hi there</return>
</echoStringResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The C# always gives a null for the retun value (Actually 'results' is an
array of size one with that element = null.
In trying to solve this, my assumption [I know those are dangerous] was
that the xmlns="" was causing it to not identify the element it was
looking for correctly.
