org.jboss.axis.AxisFault: The prefix

[mugwump]

I'm using a document\literal ws that is generated via wscompile from a given wsdl with the option nodatabinding (as I want to do my mapping via xmlbeans). I'm getting correctly deployable ports, with the only complain on deploy being:

16:13:44,610 WARN [JavaWsdlMapping] Cannot find jaxrpc-mapping for type: {http://signup.ull.tiscali.netpioneer.de/types}ullOrder
16:13:44,611 WARN [TypeMappingDescription] Class not found: javax.xml.soap.ullOrder
16:13:44,614 INFO [AxisService] WSDD published to: /opt/java/jboss-4.0.3-all/server/default/data/wsdl/ullworkflowsystem.ear/workflowsystem-web-0.1.war/SignupService.wsdd

which I suppose is ok: The signature on the Enpoint-Implementations give me the raw SOAPElements and I want to do my de-serialization manually.

However, when I try to access the webservice, I'm getting:

javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: org.jboss.axis.AxisFault: The prefix "xmlns" cannot be bound to any namespace explicitly; neither can the namespace for "xmlns" be bound to any prefix explicitly.

tcpmon shows the following for the envelope:

<env:Envelope
 xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
 xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns:enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
 xmlns:ns0="http://signup.ull.tiscali.netpioneer.de/types">

which looks ok to me. The payload also looks ok, and I have comfirmed, that I can use XMLBeans to de-serialize the soap-body again.

I'm puzzled, and don't have the slightest idea anymore, what is going wrong here - has anybody seen a similar error before???!

Thx for any help

I have run into a similar problem.

I am trying to use a wscompile generated webservice with the nodatabinding feature. To create the outgoing soapelement, I used the addDocument method of org.jboss.axis.message.SOAPBodyImpl.

During this operation, JBoss's implementation of SerializationContext (jboss 4.0.2, from axis-ws4ee.jar) is converting my 'xmlns=namespaceuri' into 'xmlns:xmlns=namespaceuri', which is illegal.

Due to this, I get the following error message when trying to parse:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The prefix "xmlns" cannot be bound to any namespace explicitly; neither can the namespace for "xmlns" be bound to any prefix explicitly.

I downloaded the source and modified SerializationContextImpl to prevent this from happenning, but even after that I get the same exact error message when trying to parse.

Did you ever find the cause of this problem?

Hi Kyle,

wow, this is terribly long ago. Yes, we did find a solution, but I do not remember exactly what we did: However, the error-message was more than misleading, the error had nothing to do with the namespace-declararation. I vaguely remember that I still had a soap-encoded parameter in my wsdl. If you have migrated your wsdl from an rpc to a document\literal service, you may have a similar problem.

Hope this helps (at least a bit..)

cheers
