Right off the bat, here is my Soap call implementation, minus the irrelevant bits.
public class MySoapClient implements AbstractSoapClient
{
private String NAMESPACE = "http://www.examples.com/wsdl/MyService/";
private String METHOD_NAME = "getPersonDetails";
private String SOAP_ACTION = "http://www.examples.com/getPersonDetails/";
String URL = "http://192.168.0.10:8088/mockMyServiceBinding?WSDL";
public Object process() throws Exception
{
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = generateEnvelope();
return responseObject = makeCall(envelope);
}
private SoapSerializationEnvelope generateEnvelope()
{
// dont set a namespace for the requestobject, otherwise ksoap adds implicit namespaces onto request elements
SoapObject requestObject = new SoapObject("", METHOD_NAME);
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.dotNet = true;
envelope.implicitTypes = true;
requestObject.addProperty("name", "Dave");
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(requestObject);
return envelope;
}
private Object makeCall(SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope)
{
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
try
{
androidHttpTransport.debug = true;
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
return envelope.bodyIn;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return e;
}
}
}
I think the problem is the SoapObject requestObject = new SoapObject("", METHOD_NAME);
part.
If I use SoapObject requestObject = new SoapObject("", METHOD_NAME);
Then I get this in the bodyOut :
<v:Envelope xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:d="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:c="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:v="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<v:Header/>
<v:Body>
<getPersonDetails xmlns="" id="o0" c:root="1">
<name>Dave</name>
</getPersonDetails>
</v:Body>
</v:Envelope>
If I use SoapObject requestObject = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
Then I get this in the bodyOut :
<v:Envelope xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:d="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:c="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:v="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<v:Header/>
<v:Body>
<n0:getPersonDetails id="o0" c:root="1" xmlns:n0="http://www.examples.com/wsdl/MyService/">
<name i:type="d:string">Dave</name>
</n0:getPersonDetails>
</v:Body>
</v:Envelope>
BUT..SoapUI only accepts the following as a valid XML request :
<v:Envelope xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:d="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:c="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:v="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<v:Header/>
<v:Body>
<getPersonDetails>
<name>Dave</name>
</getPersonDetails>
</v:Body>
</v:Envelope>
For some reason, it doesn't like the xmlns="http://www.examples.com/getPersonDetails/" id="o0" c:root="1"
part, but I can't find a way to remove it, please help!
So how can I completely remove the xmlns declaration? It feels "dirty" creating a SoapObject and setting namespace to ""
