Hi,
I had the same problem. Its because the C# client doesn't like the way
Apache SOAP formats its responses (see below for the request and responses).
Its because .net expects the result of the method invocation to be inside
<Return></Return> tags.
But, i think all this interop issue is solved in the .NET Beta 2...try using
the beta 2 instead.
.NET Request :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
xmlns:soapenc=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema";>
<soap:Body>
<recieveSOAPMsg xmlns="urn:SmartTools:SOAPWebService">
<XMLString>Hello Joseph</XMLString>
</recieveSOAPMsg>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
What .NET expects :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
xmlns:soapenc=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
xmlns:tns=http://soapinterop.org/
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
<tns:recieveSOAPMsgResponse>
<Return></Return>
</tns:recieveSOAPMsgResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Apache SOAP sends back :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema";>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:recieveSOAPMsgResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:SmartTools:SOAPWebService"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
</ns1:recieveSOAPMsgResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
