hi everyone, I have JBoss 4.0.5.GA, and am using JBoss WS 1.2.1. I have created a web service (using wstools - not wscompile etc) and the beans, ear etc deploy fine. The WSDL generated from wstools looks ok (to me). But when I try to use a client written in PHP (using the SOAP extension) I am getting this all the time: Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: Requested element {http://gaws.mec.com/rta/ws/types}businessDate is not allowed in this position in the sequence. The next element should be businessDate at org.jboss.xb.binding.sunday.unmarshalling.SequenceBinding$1.startElement(SequenceBinding.java:219) at org.jboss.xb.binding.sunday.unmarshalling.ModelGroupBinding$Cursor.startElement(ModelGroupBinding.java:159) at org.jboss.xb.binding.sunday.unmarshalling.SundayContentHandler.startElement(SundayContentHandler.java:277) at org.jboss.xb.binding.parser.sax.SaxJBossXBParser$DelegatingContentHandler.startElement(SaxJBossXBParser.java:323) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) this is the SOAP Request <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://gaws.mec.com/rta/ws/types"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:notifyStatusChange> <ns1:businessDate>2007-05-02T12:00:00</ns1:businessDate> <ns1:community>testing</ns1:community> <ns1:status>OPEN</ns1:status> </ns1:notifyStatusChange> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> As you can see, the fields within the notifyStatusChange structure are given a namespace of ns1. the WSDL is defined as such: <schema targetNamespace='http://gaws.mec.com/rta/ws/types' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:soap11-enc='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:tns='http://gaws.mec.com/rta/ws/types' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'> <complexType name='NotifyAccountControl'> <sequence> <element name='account' type='int'/> <element name='accountStatus' nillable='true' type='string'/> <element name='agentNumber' type='int'/> <element name='balance' nillable='true' type='decimal'/> <element name='businessDate' nillable='true' type='dateTime'/> <element name='community' nillable='true' type='string'/> <element name='division' nillable='true' type='string'/> <element name='rejectReason' nillable='true' type='string'/> <element name='timeZone' nillable='true' type='string'/> <element name='transactionDate' nillable='true' type='dateTime'/> <element name='transactionType' nillable='true' type='string'/> <element name='window' type='int'/> </sequence> </complexType> .... and so on so .... obviously JBoss does not like the subfields being tagged with a namespace (as far as I can tell, all my research has been of no help). But I can't figure out how to get the PHP client to stop tagging the subfields. I am not an expert on WSDL etc so I am not even sure if the PHP client should be doing that. Should something in the WSDL change (as the PHP is working off that as a basis)? So... is there anything I can do to the Java code to get it to stop being so sensitive? Is this a valid error? Or does anyone know what to do in the PHP (I tried using the nusoap library and that worked even worse...)? Or do I just have to write a Java based client for testing as anything-but-java is not up to spec like JBossWS is? But then the real client (another company using Microsoft .NET) is probably going to have problems.... Help! thanks doug
