The root element is missing and soapExtension

cordata5

Hi I'm using the example posted on Ron Howard's site for encryting the
body of an xml file located at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/rhoward/
I'm running into trouble where i'm getting an error of this type:

System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. SoapException: Server was unable to
process request. ---> System.Xml.XmlE xception: The root element is
missing. at System.Xml.XmlT extReader.Read( ) at
System.Xml.XmlR eader.MoveToCon tent() at
System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. SoapServerProto colHelper.GetHe lper(SoapServer Protocol
protocol) at System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. SoapServerProto col.ReadParamet ers()
at System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. WebServiceHandl er.Invoke() at
System.Web.Serv ices.Protocols. WebServiceHandl er.CoreProcessR equest()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Does anyone have experience doing encryption of xml file via use of
soapextensions? I'm using the code directly from this example and
it's not working.

Hi,

Is this the error thrown by the client? Or by the server? This kind of
error can happen if you aren't careful to manage the copy/assignment of the
in-out streams in both directions in you Soap Extension

Hope this helps

Im getting the same error. I can see that my soapextension is decrypting the soap message on the Server. I can see that the soapMessage message contains the right information. However the process skips the AfterDeserializ e and the call to the webmethod and goes directly to BeforeSerialize on the server. Did you figure out what was the problem

My Decrypt function copies the decrypted message to newStream.

HOWTO Overcome missing namespace declaration in root node

by: David B. Bitton | last post by:

I am having a problem deserializing XML when the root node is missing a namespace declaration. My Type has an XmlTypeAttribute with a namespace defined. If I attempt to deserialize the XML, I get the dreaded <elementname xmlns=''> was not expected exception. If I comment out the XmlTypeAttribute, it works just fine. Just so you know, when I instantiate an instance of an XmlSerializer, I pass a default namespace to the ctor. ...

The data at the root level is invalid exception

by: MR | last post by:

I get the following Exception "The data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 642" whenever I try to deserialize an incoming SOAP message. The incoming message is formed well and its length is 642 bytes ( I have appended it to the end of this message). I suspect that the reason may have something to do with an incorrect declaration of which class to de-serialize to. In the attached code I substituted @@@@@@@ in the code below with...

Forgive a newbie question. I'm learning the .NET XML environment. In the walkthrough on using XML designer to create an xsd, there is no discussion of the root element of the target xml document. I realize that the namespace specifying the xsd is an attribute of the root element of an xml document conforming to the xsd, so is logically outside the xsd. I built a simple schema, then added an XML document, added a root element to the...
