How to determine encodingStyle in SoapExtension SoapClientMessage?

[M Borkan]

Can anyone tell me how to access the encodingStyle in a client from a
SoapExtension? In particular, I'd like to know the style in
SoapClientMessage in the SoapMessageStage.BeforeSerialize.
I'm trying to determine if the message encodingStyle is document/literal or
rpc/encoding (or document/encoding).

From the SoapClientMessage I can see in the debugger that there is a value
for message.protocol.EncodingNs and for message.Client.EncodingNs of
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/", but i get errors that these
members are "inaccessible due to its protection level" if I try to access them
at compile time. Is there a way using reflection to access these, or some
other way?

Thanks,
Martha Borkan

Martha:

Reflection should work. I would try it if I were you.

I'm not very familiar with reflection, and I'm not sure what I should be
relecting on in this case. Here are some possibilites:

message.Method : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapClientMethod
// unfortunately the message.Method and message.method are
// inaccessible due to protection.
// Won't accessing these at runtime just throw FieldAccessException
// or some other Exception?
message.MethodInfo System.Web.Services.Protocols.LogicalMethodInfo
message.Client.ClientType : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapClientType

How do I find out whether there was a SoapRpcMethodAttribute applied to
the method (on the message.MethodInfo which is a LogicalMethodInfo)?
on its CustomAttributeProvider? or somewhere else?
or a SoapRpcServiceAttribute applied to the Serice/Class?
(Shouldn't the service attributes propogate down to the methods in
the service)?
Where do I look to see if any of these attibutes are applied?

Thanks in advance,
Martha
