We have been running into a wall on this problem for about two weeks (everything else in our system works), so I thought I would throw it out to the community. We have created a web service with several operations. One operation returns an XML document that is defined by an XSD associated with a standard. We can not change the XSD for the standard, but can if necessary change our WSDL that references it or the Java code that dynamically constructs the XML payload/SOAP. We use Axis2, the XML Beans tools, and WSDL2Java to generate the Java classes to construct the XML. For this newsgroup, we created a simple example of an XML schema and WSDL (only a simplified version of one operation) that replicates the same problem, but much less complex.
The namespaces in the payload corresponding to the standard need to be as if it was a standalone XML document. 1. SOAP Message The actual SOAP message produced by our system looks like this: <exportDEMOResponse xmlns="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com/types"; xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";> <return> <EMSDemographicDataSet xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nemsis.org http://www.nemsis.org/media/XSD/EMSDemographicDataSet.xsd"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://www.nemsis.org";> <D09 Status="A" Date="2007-03-29-07:00" xmlns=""> <D09_04 xmlns="http://www.nemsis.org";>Stuff</D09_04> </D09> </EMSDemographicDataSet> </return> </exportDEMOResponse> 2. Desired SOAP Message/XML Document We would like the payload corresponding to Test.xsd (defined later in this message) to look like the following: <EMSDemographicDataSet xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nemsis.org http://www.nemsis.org/media/XSD/EMSDemographicDataSet.xsd"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://www.nemsis.org";> <D09 Status="A" Date="2007-03-29-07:00"> <D09_04>Stuff</D09_04> </D09> </EMSDemographicDataSet> In other words, we want to get rid of the xmlns="" associated with D09 and the xmlns="http://www.nemsis.org"; associated with D09_04. The xmlns="" only occurs when attributes are defined. 3. WSDL Our WSDL looks like this. Note that the elementFormDefault is qualified and the attributeFormDefault is unqualified. WSDL (services.wsdl) <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/"; xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/"; xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/"; xmlns:ns1="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com/types"; xmlns:ns="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; targetNamespace="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com";> <wsdl:types> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:types="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com/types"; targetNamespace="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com/types"; elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:Q1="http://www.nemsis.org";> <xs:import schemaLocation="Test.xsd" namespace="http://www.nemsis.org";> </xs:import> <xs:complexType name="DemographicsPayload"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="Q1:EMSDemographicDataSet" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:element name="exportDEMO"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element type="xs:string" name="agencyID" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="exportDEMOResponse"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element type="types:DemographicsPayload" name="return" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> </wsdl:types> <wsdl:message name="exportDEMOMessage"> <wsdl:part element="ns1:exportDEMO" name="part1" /> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="exportDEMOResponseMessage"> <wsdl:part element="ns1:exportDEMOResponse" name="part1" /> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:portType name="PolarisWSPortType"> <wsdl:operation name="exportDEMO"> <wsdl:input message="ns:exportDEMOMessage" /> <wsdl:output message="ns:exportDEMOResponseMessage" /> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> <wsdl:binding type="ns:PolarisWSPortType" name="PolarisWSSOAP11Binding"> <soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"; /> <wsdl:operation name="exportDEMO"> <soap:operation style="document" soapAction="urn:exportDEMO" /> <wsdl:input> <soap:body namespace="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com"; use="literal" /> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <soap:body namespace="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com"; use="literal" /> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> <wsdl:binding type="ns:PolarisWSPortType" name="PolarisWSSOAP12Binding"> <soap12:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"; /> <wsdl:operation name="exportDEMO"> <soap12:operation style="document" soapAction="urn:exportDEMO" /> <wsdl:input> <soap12:body namespace="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com"; use="literal" /> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <soap12:body namespace="http://PolarisWS.ws4.ems.cognitech.com"; use="literal" /> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> <wsdl:service name="PolarisWS"> <wsdl:port binding="ns:PolarisWSSOAP11Binding" name="PolarisWSSOAP11port"> <soap:address location="http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/PolarisWS"; /> </wsdl:port> <wsdl:port binding="ns:PolarisWSSOAP12Binding" name="PolarisWSSOAP12port"> <soap12:address location="http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/PolarisWS"; /> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> </wsdl:definitions> 4.
