You need to map the operation 'process' with the QName of the PurchaseOrder element. This is the way Axis knows where to send the request.
<operation name="process" qname="operNS:PurchaseOrder" xmlns:operNS="urn:DoclitOrder" returnQName="getElementReturn" returnType="rtns:Element" xmlns:rtns="urn:DoclitOrder" > </operation> You will have to fill in the returnQName and namespace to match what ever the service will return (if anything). Hope this helps. -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia Server Development -----Original Message----- From: Dimuthu Leelarathne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 12:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: No such operation fault in doc\lit I send this mail yesterday, but it doesn't appear in the list today. It has got lost somehow, So I am sending it again. If there are multiple copies I am really sorry about it. hi, I am hoping to write a doc/literal sample that does not use wsdl so that new users can use it to understand doc/literal services without going into wsdl. But I get a very puzzling behavior. My soap message looks like this ...( good old purchaseOrder example). <soapenv:Body> <PurchaseOrder xmlns="urn:DoclitOrder"> <description xmlns="">Wood carving of an Elephant</description> <item xmlns="">ER234</item> <quantity xmlns="">1</quantity> </PurchaseOrder> </soapenv:Body> But I get a fault string faultString: No such operation ' PurchaseOrder '
 but the operation name ( whis is "process") travels in the http header. My HTTP header is; POST /axis/services/ProcessOrder HTTP/1.0Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/* User-Agent: Axis/1.1RC2 Host: 127.0.0.1Cache-Control: no-cachePragma: no-cacheSOAPAction: "process" Content-Length: 462 I am using Axis - 1.0 for server side and TomCat 4.1.24. Now if I manually replace the word "PurchaseOrder" with "process" in the SOAPMessage using tcpMonitor. Everything works fine. I have given the wsdd I wrote below. <service name="ProcessOrder" provider="java:RPC" style="document"> <parameter name="className" value="samples.doclit.SimpleProcessor"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <beanMapping xmlns:ns="urn:DoclitOrder" qname="ns:PurchaseOrder" type="java:samples.doclit.PurchaseOrder" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="" /> </service> Any input is really appriciated. Thanx, Dimuthu.
