Cannot find child element: not using namespace ?

[dust_puppy]

Hi
i get javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException: Cannot find child element: getVersionReturn when i am calling an external webservice from AS 4.0.4.GA.

i have the folowing WSDL

<wsdl:message name="getVersionResponse">
 <wsdl:part name="getVersionReturn" type="xsd:string"/>
 </wsdl:message>

<wsdl:operation name="getVersion">
 <wsdl:input message="impl:getVersionRequest" name="getVersionRequest"/>
 <wsdl:output message="impl:getVersionResponse" name="getVersionResponse"/>
 </wsdl:operation>

<wsdl:operation name="getVersion">
 <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/>
 <wsdl:input name="getVersionRequest">
 <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location" use="encoded"/>
 </wsdl:input>
 <wsdl:output name="getVersionResponse">
 <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location" use="encoded"/>
 </wsdl:output>
 </wsdl:operation>

and i have used wstool to generate the jaxrpc maping

<service-endpoint-method-mapping>
 <java-method-name>getVersion</java-method-name>
 <wsdl-operation>getVersion</wsdl-operation>
 <wsdl-return-value-mapping>
 <method-return-value>java.lang.String</method-return-value>
 <wsdl-message xmlns:wsdlMsgNS='http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location'>wsdlMsgNS:Location_getVersionResponse</wsdl-message>
 <wsdl-message-part-name>result</wsdl-message-part-name>
 </wsdl-return-value-mapping>
 </service-endpoint-method-mapping>

i turnd on debuging and got the following output

17:09:58,232 DEBUG [SOAPConnectionImpl] Outgoing SOAPMessage

 javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException: Cannot find child element: getVersionReturn

i downloaded the jbossWS source and debuged the code in the method org.jboss.ws.binding.soap.SOAPBindingProvider.getParameterFromMessage()
it compairs xmlName and elName chich in my case are
xmlName= getVersionReturn
elName= {http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location}getVersionReturn

i have tryed to modefly booth wsdl and jaxrpc but nu sucsess =(, should it not use the namespace on the "part" that i specefy in the operation ?

i hope someone can help me with this becaus i am out of ideas =/

many thanks

i think my problem is that my message has the namespace on getVersionResponse

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>
 <soapenv:Header/>
 <soapenv:Body>
 <ns1:getVersionResponse soapenv:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:ns1='java:com.netcom.positioning'>
 <ns1:getVersionReturn xsi:type='xsd:string'>Location Web Service version 1 build 007</ns1:getVersionReturn>
 </ns1:getVersionResponse>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

in other webservices i have tried the "part" dont have a the namespace on it, is there a way to define this in the WSDL or is this message not following the standard ?

This might be a really stupid question but I can?t get this to work =/ any input is appreciated

Should not the namespace specified in the soap operation be used when parsing the incoming xml ? i use a JSR-109 client as described in the documentation..

Now I cant se any different in behavior when i change the namespace of a operations body.. Not even in the outgoing message is this not a bug ?

like

<wsdl:operation name="getVersion">
 <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/>
 <wsdl:input name="getVersionRequest">
 <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location" use="encoded"/>
 </wsdl:input>
 <wsdl:output name="getVersionResponse">
 <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location" use="encoded"/>
 </wsdl:output>
 </wsdl:operation>

the outgoing namespace is always the same

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.
org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>
 <soapenv:Header/>
 <soapenv:Body>
 <ns1:getVersionResponse soapenv:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:ns1='
http://netcom.no/xil/2003/09/location'>
 <ns1:getVersionReturn xsi:type='xsd:string'>Location Web Service version 1 build 007</ns1:getVersionReturn>
 </ns1:getVersionResponse>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

[dust_puppy]

solved the problem.. to get it to use namespace for its element i needed to extract the part to its own element like

<wsdl:message name="getVersionResponse">
 <wsdl:part name="getVersionReturn" element="impl:getVersionReturn" />
 </wsdl:message>

<xsd:element name="getVersionReturn" type="xsd:string" />

if thos can help anyone else =)

Hello,
I am facing the same problem.I am calling axis webservice with jbossWS client.Webservice is being called by while returning the result,it throws exception as no child element found for return type.I suppose it is about soap messages.Can you please post your solution how you modified wsdl which can be helpful for me too.
Thanks,
Ankita

Hello Anders,

We too are facing the same problem... Could you please let us know what exactly you did to solve the problem step by step.
We have axis webservices deployed and using jbossws for client.
Could you elaborate the solution?

AD
