How to Deserialize SoapService's reponse message

[Anbu]

Hi All,

I need to Deserialize the SoapService's SoapEnvelope response object.

Here is the Body of the SoapEnvelope received as respone,
<q1:serviceResp onse xmlns:q1="urn:C allSetup"><serv iceReturn
xsi:type="q1:re sponse"
xmlnssi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">ok</serviceReturn></q1:serviceRespo nse>
When i try to deserialize with the same class from the client, I'm
receiving the following error,
There is an error in XML document (1, 2).
at System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlSe rializer.Deseri alize(XmlReader
xmlReader, String encodingStyle, XmlDeserializat ionEvents events)
at System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlSe rializer.Deseri alize(XmlReader
xmlReader, String encodingStyle)
at System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlSe rializer.Deseri alize(Stream stream)

The source code is given below,
try
{
CS.response myObject;
XmlSerializer mySerializer = new
XmlSerializer(t ypeof(CS.respon se));

byte[] b =
System.Text.Enc oding.Unicode.G etBytes(respons e.Body.InnerXml );
System.IO.Memor yStream ms = new MemoryStream(b) ;

myObject = (CS.response)my Serializer.Dese rialize(ms);

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(ex.Message);
Console.WriteLi ne(ex.StackTrac e);

}

This above function works fine, if the XML data is as serialized
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><response> ok</response>

Is there any way to Deserialize the SoapEnvelope from the soapservice?

Hi Anbu,

Are you using WSE ?. The Microsoft.Web.S ervices3.SoapEn velope class has a
method to deserialize the body element.

CS.response myObject =
(CS.response)re sponse.GetBodyO bject(typeof(CS .response));

Pablo,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it thows an error saying "There
is an error in the XML document".

at ....

But the soap envelope is as received from the web service. No changes
made. The return data type of the web service is an Enumerator.

Is there any other way to implement?

Thanks,

So, the type you are using on the client is not the same as the type in the
response message. How did you do to generate the type on the client ? Are
you using the types created with the ws proxy ?.

Pablo.

Pablo,

Thanks for your follow-up.

Type of client is same as the server application's return type. Of
course, it's generated from the Webservice's wsdl file. But the web
service adds few namespaces in the response body. This causes the
problem.

To duplicate the same error, create a simple web service site like
HelloWorld, and see the description page of the method (not the WSDL).
There are two entries, one for Soap Post and another one for HTTP post.
The client application was able to recoganize the data if it's in HTTP
Post (response) format, but not Soap response's body.

I think XML deserialization can mainly used with the text files which
are serializable using the classes.

Any thoughts?
