Cannot consume soap/encoded response with xsi:type attribute ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBWS-1132 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1132 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: jaxrpc Reporter: Thomas Diesler Assigned To: Thomas Diesler Fix For: jbossws-1.0.6 After this mornings discussion I have gone back to the first of the SOAP/Encoded client cases to review what they are asking for and to see if they are using arrays or references. It is actually the parsing of the response that is failing but the customer has also questioned the format of the request message. The request message is of the following type: - <xsd:complexType name="AssignmentSoapType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element type="xsd:dateTime" name="assignmentDate" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"> </xsd:element> <xsd:element type="xsd:long" name="assignmentNum" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> </xsd:element> <xsd:element type="xsd:long" name="busOrg" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> </xsd:element> <xsd:element type="xsd:boolean" name="reusePosition" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> </xsd:element> <xsd:element type="xsd:boolean" name="terminate" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> </xsd:element> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> So everything is minOccurs and maxOccurs of 1. The request message that is generated looks like: - <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> <env:Header/> <env:Body> <ns1:cancelAssignment xmlns:ns1='http://www.iqnavigator.com/iqnservices'> <assignmentSoapType xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'> <ns_assignmentDate:assignmentDate xmlns:ns_assignmentDate='java:com.iqnavigator.frontoffice.webservice.sta fftrack'>2006-06-19T00:00:00.000-05:00</ns_assignmentDate:assignmentDate > > <ns_assignmentNum:assignmentNum xmlns:ns_assignmentNum='java:com.iqnavigator.frontoffice.webservice.staf ftrack'>267589</ns_assignmentNum:assignmentNum> <ns_busOrg:busOrg xmlns:ns_busOrg='java:com.iqnavigator.frontoffice.webservice.stafftrack' > >153801</ns_busOrg:busOrg> <ns_reusePosition:reusePosition xmlns:ns_reusePosition='java:com.iqnavigator.frontoffice.webservice.staf ftrack'>true</ns_reusePosition:reusePosition> <ns_terminate:terminate xmlns:ns_terminate='java:com.iqnavigator.frontoffice.webservice.stafftra ck'>true</ns_terminate:terminate> </assignmentSoapType> </ns1:cancelAssignment> </env:Body> </env:Envelope> The customer is saying the request message looks weird. I think this is because everything is everything to use xsi:type but we have used references to a schema. From the Soap 1.1 specification is this is because of this paragraph: - "Although it is possible to use the xsi:type attribute such that a graph of values is self-describing both in its structure and the types of its values, the serialization rules permit that the types of values MAY be determinate only by reference to a schema." I also noticed that the message we generate does not contain the encodingStyle, again from the Soap 1.1 spec is this because it is not mandatory: - "Messages using this particular serialization SHOULD indicate this using the SOAP encodingStyle attribute." The part that appears to actually be failing is the parsing of the response. The response message is constructed using xsi:type for each element however we appear to be expecting everything to be based on the schema. <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:soapenc='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'> <env:Header/> <env:Body env:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'> <m:cancelAssignmentResponse xmlns:m='http://www.iqnavigator.com/iqnservices'> <result xmlns:n1='java:com.iqnavigator.frontoffice.webservice.stafftrack' xsi:type='n1:WebServiceGenericResponse'> <responseCode xsi:type='xsd:string'>BONF</responseCode> <responseDesc xsi:type='xsd:string'>The business organization that you've referenced does not exist.</responseDesc> </result> </m:cancelAssignmentResponse> </env:Body> </env:Envelope> The error coming from JBossXB is: - 2006-08-04 18:24:12,265 INFO [STDOUT] exception sendCancelAssignmentToIqn ejava.rmi.RemoteException: Call invocation failed: org.jboss.ws.binding.BindingException: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Failed to parse source: Requested element responseCode is not allowed in this position in the sequence.
