Soap envelope rpc-encoded namespace issue ------------------------------------------
Key: WSCOMMONS-459 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-459 Project: WS-Commons Issue Type: Bug Components: AXIOM Affects Versions: Axiom 1.2.8 Environment: java 1.6 Reporter: Luca Cavanna I have replaced saaj with axiom in my projects to manage soap handling. I have an rpc-encoded soap envelope containing the declarations of soapenv (xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/") and xsi (xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance") namespaces. The first element of the soap body references soapenv in one of his attributes (soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"). Some xml elements in the soap body reference the xsi namespace (xsi:type="soapenc:string") as well. When I try to parse the soap body (extracted from the soap envelope) using JDOM or DOM4J I get a SaxParseException because the soapenv and xsi namespaces are not bound: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The prefix "soapenv" for attribute "soapenv:encodingStyle" associated with an element type "ns1:sendMessage" is not bound. Saaj handles correctly the soapenv and and xsi declarations moving them in the soap body; with axiom the soap body contain only the reference to those namespaces and not the declarations. The issue seems to be creating a StAXSource from Axiom payload element (obtained by calling axiomSoapMessage.getSOAPEnvelope().getBody().getFirstElement()); serializing payload calling serialize method namespace are correctly handled, but creating a StAXSource using XMLStreamReader and transforming it to a StreamResult I get an xml not parseable because namespaces are not bound. I have found a workaround transforming the StAXSource in a JDOMResult. The problem rises when you create a StAXSource from an Axiom payload element (calling axiomSoapMessage.getSOAPEnvelope().getBody().getFirstElement()). When you call the serialize method, namespaces are correctly handled; but if you create a StAXSource using an XMLStreamReader and try to transform it to a StreamResult you get the SaxParseException mentioned above. I have found a workaround transforming the StAXSource in a JDOMResult. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
