XML Serialization and SOAP

1,047 Recognized Expert Top Contributor

I created a piece of code with which I can create an XML which look like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<test xmlns:test="http://www.test.nl">

  <a>A</a>

  <b>

    <c>1</c>

    <c>2</c>

    <c>4</c>

    <c>3</c>

  </b>

</test>

I did this creating a class using XSD.exe on the following XSD:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <xs:element name="test">

    <xs:complexType>

      <xs:sequence>

        <xs:element name="a" type="xs:string" />

        <xs:element name="b">

          <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

              <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="c" type="xs:string" />

            </xs:sequence>

          </xs:complexType>

        </xs:element>

      </xs:sequence>

    </xs:complexType>

  </xs:element>

</xs:schema>

My question:
If I want to send this xml as a request to a SOAP server, how do I add the SOAP-envelope?

I tried to do this:
1) define a class for the SOAP envelope

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

     [XmlInclude(typeof(SOAP))]

    [Serializable]

    public class SOAP

    {

        public string Head { get; set; }

        public object Body { get; set; }

    }

When I try to insert my XML thing into this like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 SOAP x3 = new SOAP { Head = "x1", Body = x2 };

            XmlSerializer xs3 = new XmlSerializer(x3.GetType(), "");

            XmlWriterSettings xws3 = new XmlWriterSettings();

            xws3.Indent = true;

            xws3.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

            XmlWriter xw3 = XmlWriter.Create("test3.xml", xws3);

            xs3.Serialize(xw3, x3, namespaces);

It fails with an 'InvalidOperati onException' on the xs3.Serialize.
('x2' is the object holding the XML shown earlier...)

Could you please paste the contents of here X3 just before the Serialize sentence.

I made some changes to above code (I will edit my original post too)

the contents of X3 is (copied from 'Immediate Window':

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 x3

{CreateXML_1.SOAP}

    Body: {test}

    Head: "x1"

x3.Body

{test}

    a: "A"

    aField: "A"

    b: {string[0x00000004]}

    bField: {string[0x00000004]}

x3.Head

"x1"

If you was hoping to see something else please give directions on how to get that info... ;)

BTW: If I change the definition of 'Body' (which is currently an 'object' to 'test' than I do no get the error. But that's not what I want, because I need the possibility to send other XML's to the same server.

After changing 'object' to 'test', i'm getting this test3.xml:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<SOAP xmlns:test="http://www.test.nl">

  <Head>x1</Head>

  <Body>

    <a>A</a>

    <b>

      <c>1</c>

      <c>2</c>

      <c>4</c>

      <c>3</c>

    </b>

  </Body>

</SOAP>

I'm loosing the 'test'-rootTag, which I also do not like ;)

If I understood your question correctly, there might be some problem the format for the Header contents. Probably you could look into http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...nvelope-in-net

Hope this helps.

If you are referring to the answer "I was able to solve this by using an XLST to wrap the XML in soap"...

This is (I tihkn) a no go, because this would probable be tooo slow. (and to complex to implement (for /me ;)).

But i'll give it a test tomorrow.... ;)

Question about serialization w/ class inheritence.

deserialization arrays in Axis SOAP messages

Summary: I have been trying to make requests of a web service provided by Axis using a dotnet client with code generated by wsdl.exe and have been getting exceptions when trying to process the response.

Override customXML Serialization on Web Service-returned class

by: Angelos Karantzalis | last post by:

Hi y'all, we're using a bunch of classes in a project, that we wanted to convert to-from xml easily. So, we defined XmlAttribute annotations for our class members and all worked fine. The Xml stream came from an external source with a custom xml schema, so we had no alternative. However, along the way we came to the point that we must expose those classes as return types for a web service. Returning an instance of a class through the...

Soap Faults

by: JRey | last post by:

Does .Net generate the classes for Faults when they are specified in the WSDL. I tried defining them and then generating a proxy, and it did not appear to do it. On the Java side it did generate the class and the ability to serialize that class when putting it on the wire. I was hoping a .Net client would create the appropriate exception class defined in the WSDL and deserialize the message into the appropriate exception class.

XML Serialization of derived classes

I'm having a very strange problem with XML serialization. I'm writing web services which pass instances of various classes back and forth as parameters and return values of web methods. The problem is that in my derived classes, the XML that is automatically generated is lacking the properties of the base class. For example: public class MyBaseClass { public MyBaseClass ( ) { } private string myVariable;
