Problem with SOAP body

[Anthony Piazza]

I am using Axis as a client to a web service that uses WASP. The problem I am having 
is that the service doesn't work with the more recent versions of Axis (1.1). It turns 
out that the app server (JBoss) we are using includes the latest version of Axis as 
part of it's standard deployment (which I have no control over). If I just delete the 
jars that are deployed with the app server, then it finds my older Axis-related jars 
and everything works correctly. I used a tcp monitoring tool to see what the 
difference is between the messages that get sent by the client.



Here is what the SOAP body looks like when using Axis 1.1:



<soapenv:Body>

 <userName xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>tony</userName>

 <password xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>password</password>

 <imname xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>pedev8</imname>

 <bufferType 

  xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>BUFFER_MODE_DEFAULT</bufferType>

 <connectionId xsi:type="xsd:long" 

  xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>0</connectionId>

</soapenv:Body>



Here is what the SOAP body looks like when using Axis 1.0:



<soapenv:Body>

 <userName xsi:type="xsd:string" 

  xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>tony</userName>

 <password 

xsi:type="xsd:string"xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>password</password>

 <imname xsi:type="xsd:string" 

  xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>pedev8</imname>

 <ns1:bufferType xsi:type="ns1:IMBufferType" 

  xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com"; 

xmlns:ns1="http://imapi.atp.com";>BUFFER_MODE_DEFAULT</ns1:bufferType>

 <connectionId xsi:type="xsd:long" 

  xmlns="http://imapi.atp.com";>0</connectionId>

</soapenv:Body>



You can probably see that the difference has to do with the xsi:type info that is 
included with the string parameters and the namespace declaration that is used on the 
bufferType parameter. I am stuck with having to work with the version 1.1 Axis-related 
jars that are included with our app server. Here is my question:



Can I make Axis 1.1 generate a SOAP body that looks like one generated by Axis 1.0?



Thanks in advance for your assistance.



Sincerely,



Tony Piazza
