I have run into a problem using sessionID in soap header, for .net clients that uses wsdl.exe generated proxy. I have followed this link to use SimpleSessionHandler,
http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_04/online/wsdl_kjones_04_29_03/ with which I have successfully made it work for axis, gSoap, and SOAP::Lite perl clients. I have also used the method described in this link http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=108324718302792&w=2, to try connect .net clients without any success. I was using doc/lit wrapped style. While the link there did mention it is for doc/literal style, and the wsdl indicates that it is doc/literal style, (see wsdl included at the end), the response soap header looks to me is not doc/lit style. Any idea why .net doesn't work? .net->axis request: =================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <soap:Body> <getSession xmlns="urn:myname.com"> <username xmlns="">admin</username> <password xmlns="" /> </getSession> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> =================== the axis-> .net response: ========================= 287 <?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:Header> <ns1:sessionID soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xsi:type="xsd:long" xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/session";>-5227012230670020468</ns1:ses sionID> </soapenv:Header> ... .net client comlained about Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (4, 4). ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The specified type was not recognized: name='long', namespace='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', at <sessionID xmlns='http://xml.apache.org/axis/session'>. at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.XmlSerializationReader1.Read1_ session(Boolean isNullable, Boolean checkType) at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.XmlSerializationReader1.Read8_ OutHeaders() ...
