Hi, I was able to trace the problem to org.apache.camel.dataformat.soap.name.TypeNameStrategy, which is responsible to find the namespace for a given type.
In my case, I had an XJC-generated class that did have an (almost empty) @XmlType and an @XmlRootElement with name and namespace. The problem was that TypeNameStrategy took the name from the @XmlRootElement and the namespace from @XmlSchema in package-info (generated by xjc). Unfortunately package-info did not contain the correct namespace and that's why an invalid request was assembled. I am not sure whether TypeNameStrategy is working correctly but I was able to solve my Problem with a custom ElementNameStrategy. Regards, Tom -----Original Message----- Hi, I have an existing web-service-client (spring-ws+JAXB) that I want to replace with camel. The XSD needed for this WS uses different namespaces for request/response and fault. While trying to migrate to camel/camel-soap, I encountered the following problem: Request/Response NS: "foo" Fault NS: "bar" Route: public void configure() throws Exception { SoapJaxbDataFormat soap = new SoapJaxbDataFormat(Request.class.getPackage().getName()); // soap.setVersion("1.2"); // JaxbDataFormat soap = new JaxbDataFormat(Request.class.getPackage().getName()); from("direct:someService") .marshal(soap) .setHeader(SOAP_ACTION, constant("baz")) .setHeader(Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE, constant(ContentType.create("text/xml", Consts.UTF_8).toString())) .to(wsUrl) .unmarshal(soap) } If using the SoapJaxbDataFormat, the resulting xml looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <ns2:Envelope xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns3="foo"> <ns2:Body> <ns4:request xmlns:ns4="bar"> ... Which is incorrect, since the NS for request must be "foo". The XJC-generated request-class I am using contains an @XmlRootElement annotation with the correct NS. Out of curiosity, I tried JaxbDataFormat for marshalling, the result is correct and I receive: <ns2:request xmlns:ns2="foo"> Environment: OS: Windows 7 / 64bit Camel-Version: 2.12.1 JDK6 Any help is appreciated.
