What do you mean by "anonymous" elements? If the elements are supposed to be unqualified, then the xmlns="" attribute is valid.
And what error is Sun JAX-RPC giving you? I can't believe that Sun JAX-RPC can't handle a valid XML namespace attribute. Please provide us with your WSDL document. Anne -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Francois Denise - Sun Microsystems [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem using MsgProvider I have a service that implements SOAPBodyElement [] / SOAPBodyElement [] method. Everything goes well when dealing with the incoming request. The SOAPBodyElement[] is received, the request is processed and the response is sent back. The problem appears in the sent XML. It seems that Axis, when marshalling the returned SOAPBodyElement, adds an xmlns="" attribute to all anonymous elements. My client (a sun JAX-RPC) fails to handle such attribute. Questions: -------- 1) Is there a way to avoid having this attribute to be added? Do we have to declare explicitely namespaces? 2) Each element declares its namespace (this is really a big overhead). Is it possible to declare it at the envelop level? Thanks.
