Repeating message part in WSDL message? - web-services

I am consuming a web service where parts of the WSDL looks like this:
<wsdl:message name='FooResponse'>
<wsdl:part name='parameters' element='tjsr:FooResponse' />
</wsdl:message>
The FooReponse type is defined in a separate xsd:
<xs:complexType name="FooResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="FooBaz" type="core:FooBaz" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Does the response always contain exactly one FooResponse, or can the message contain zero or multiple FooResponse?
(Yes, I understand that the FooResponse itself can contain any number of FooBaz)

Parse soap msg with gSOAP

I have following example xml message:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<to>...</to>
<from>...</from>
<id>..</id>
<relatesTo>...</relatesTo>
<action>...</action>
<version>...</version>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<customComplexElement>
<a>a_v</a>
<b>b_v</b>
<c>c_v</c>
<d>d_v</d>
<e>e_v</e>
<f>f_v</f>
</customComplexElement>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
From which I have generated a xsd file with use of one of online tools:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"></import>
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="relatesTo" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="action" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="version" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="customComplexElement">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="a"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="b"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="c"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="d"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="e"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="f"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Then I generate the appropriate header file with wsdl2h.exe and then compile it with soapcpp2.exe compiler.
Then I try to read xml file with a function soap_read_customComplexElement() and all I get is SOAP_TAG_MISMATCH. This method seems to work if I get rid of all the soap stuff the message but I wonder if there are some functions in gSOAP to parse soap envelope, header and body?
I've had same problem. But i've just fixed it.
So, in my case i use this line of code.
struct soap *soap = soap_new1(SOAP_C_UTFSTRING | SOAP_XML_IGNORENS | SOAP_XML_TREE);
The key paramter is SOAP_XML_IGNORENS. This parameter ignore namespaces.
SOAP_XML_IGNORENS in: ignores the use of XML namespaces in input
The root of this problem is that you don't declare namespaces in your body content. That why gSoap don't know how to convert this xml.
This wouldn't be converted, because gSoap don't know what is ns4:
<ns4:ParseKeywords><ns4:Keyword>Hello</ns4:Keyword></ns4:ParseKeywords>
But if i declare namespace it will be converted
<ns4:ParseKeywords xmlns:ns4="com.idurdyev.idcommerce:ParseKeywords:1.0"><ns4:Keyword>Hello</ns4:Keyword></ns4:ParseKeywords>

Conflict between 2 .xsd files of the same SOAP Service

I have a webservice, and I'm trying to write a client for it. But when I try to add a "Web Service Client" in Netbeans IDE, wsimport utility cannot parse the .wsdl. The reason is "The class serviceCompany is already in use".
I began to analyze the wsdl file, and noticed that there are 2 .xsd files related to the WS.
<types>
<xsd:schema>
<xsd:import namespace="http://services.ws.x.net/" schemaLocation="https://test.x:443/PaymentWS/PaymentWS?xsd=1"/>
</xsd:schema>
<xsd:schema>
<xsd:import namespace="http://commonws.ws.x.net/" schemaLocation="https://test.x:443/PaymentWS/PaymentWS?xsd=2"/>
</xsd:schema>
</types>
And I have a complex type named "ServiceCompany" inside of each .xsd files.
inside ?xsd=1:
<xs:complexType name="serviceCompany">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="bankAccount" type="tns:iban"/>
<xs:element name="code" type="tns:companyCode"/>
<xs:element name="description" type="tns:stringMax32"/>
<xs:element name="taxNumber" type="tns:taxNumber"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
inside ?xsd=2:
<xs:complexType name="serviceCompany">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="code" type="cmn:companyCode"/>
<xs:element name="description" type="cmn:stringMax32"/>
<xs:element name="manualPaymentReceiverCode" type="cmn:companyCode" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="scCategoryList" type="cmn:stringMax32" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:element name="status" type="cmn:objectStatus"/>
<xs:element name="branchList" type="tns:serviceCompanyBranch" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The namespaces of there .xsd files are different, why wsimport cannot import the wsdl? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

SOAP server reads web method parameters as null

I have a client that connects to a SOAP server endpoint:
Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8081/todo", new ToDoWebService());
The server offers the next simple method:
#WebService
public class ToDoWebService {
#WebMethod()
public String addToDo(String task, String context, String project, int priority) {
return "ToDo: \n "
+ "\t Task : "+task+"\n"
+ "\t Context : "+context+"\n"
+ "\t Project : "+project+"\n"
+ "\t Priority: "+priority;
}
}
This is the client:
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ToDoWebServiceService tdwss = new ToDoWebServiceService();
ToDoWebService tdws = tdwss.getToDoWebServicePort();
System.out.println(tdws.addToDo("Task 1","My Context","My Project",9));
}
}
The thing is that the connection between client and server is succesful, but not entirely: the pass of the arguments from the client to the service is not made as expected, been this the result on the client once executed:
The server doesn't receive correctly the arguments that the client has passed with the method "addToDo()" call. It returns the string format expected but with nulls instead the arguments passed by the client. And that's what I can't figure out...
Of course, I'm pretty confident the WSDL file is well written:

As well as the schema "toDo.xsd":

<xs:complexType name="addToDoResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="return" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
I've tried different actions in the server method, as writing the string with the parameter in a file, but the result is the same, an error cause the parameters are null. That's what I think proves that the failure is located in the way the server receive the parameters passed to the "addToDo()" method.
I've review the WSDL & schema files over and over....but I've not been able to find what make this code run wrongly. I've also tested this code with the SoapUI software and the outcome is the same.
¿Any ideas?
P.D.: Sorry about all the posted code.
In case you need the whole project: my SOAP project at GitHub
I reviewed your WSDL and XSD in your project todows-cli-ws and the problem is the WSDL and XSD files in your client project are outdated!
For example, this is the current content of the XSD file of your server.
<xs:schema xmlns:tns="http://todows.bigws/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
version="1.0" targetNamespace="http://todows.bigws/">
<xs:element name="addToDo" type="tns:addToDo"/>
<xs:element name="addToDoResponse" type="tns:addToDoResponse"/>
<xs:element name="listToDo" type="tns:listToDo"/>
<xs:element name="listToDoResponse" type="tns:listToDoResponse"/>
<xs:element name="removeToDo" type="tns:removeToDo"/>
<xs:element name="removeToDoResponse" type="tns:removeToDoResponse"/>
<xs:complexType name="addToDo">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="arg0" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="arg1" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="arg2" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="arg3" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="addToDoResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="return" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="removeToDo">
<xs:sequence/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="removeToDoResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="return" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="listToDo">
<xs:sequence/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="listToDoResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="return" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Note that the current name of the params are arg0, arg1, arg2 and arg3. The server expects as param names task, context, project and priority, and therefore the method is invoked with the default values (null for a String and 0 for an int).

WSDL elements order

In an application, I have web services that are based on WSDL files provided by a third-party company. All I did until now, was generating the associated Java code by using an ant script with axis wsdl2java.
I say until now because the company which provide the web services has modified its architecture and the soap messages must know respect the order of the input elements which is apparently not the case.
Example : in my WSDL I have something like this
<xs:element name="personinfo">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="address" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="country" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
But when I look at the soap message that is sent to the web service, the order of the elements are not the same as in the WSDL file.
Do you guys have any idea on what do I have to do in order to make the elements order respected in the message that I send ?
EDIT : I use Axis 1.4
Thanks a lot for your help !

Removing WSDL differences while migrating from Axis2 to CXF

I am migrating my webservice publishing API from AXIS2 to CXF. CXF autogenerated WSDL is not similar to Axis2 WSDL. There are given below differences. As client sits somewhere else I am not able to test if these differences will affect Axis2 generated clients. How can remove these WSDL differences using CXF?
CXF WSDL
<xs:element name="test" type="tns:test"/>
<xs:element name="testResponse" type="tns:testResponse"/>
<xs:complexType name="test">
<xs:sequence> <xs:element name="doc" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="testResponse">
<xs:sequence> <xs:element name="return" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<wsdl:portType name="TESTService">
Axis2 WSDL
<xsd:element name="test" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="testResponse" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" />
<wsdl:portType name="TEST">
Most likely, adding an annotation of:
#SOAPBinding(parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
would do it. You may also need to update "name" attributes of the #WebParam and #WebReturn params.
To get rif of xs:elemntName difference, remove '#WebParams' from web service input as it is accepting just a String not any complex object.
To remove wsdl:portType name difference, just added '#WebService(name) attribute. '#WebService' should be as per the specification order else cxf won't consider them in WSDL.
