Re: changing xmlns:soapenc from "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" to "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" fixes my problem?

[Anne Thomas Manes <at...@gmail.com>]

Axis generates rpc/encoded style services by default. The SOAP spec ifsnot
entirely clear on this point, but it certainly leads to the conclusion that
when using SOAP encoding, messages should use SOAP encoding types rather
than the primitive XML Schema types -- e.g., the message parts are defined
like so:

<wsdl:message name="methodRequest">
  <wsdl:part name="in0" type="soapenc:string"/>
  <wsdl:part name="in1" type="soapenc:int"/>
</wsdl:message>

where xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/".

Unfortunately, a number of SOAP implementations don't follow this reasoning,
and instead they require use of the XML Schema types, like so:

<wsdl:message name="methodRequest">
  <wsdl:part name="in0" type="xsd:string"/>
  <wsdl:part name="in1" type="xsd:int"/>
</wsdl:message>

You can configure Axis to use XML Schema primitive types by including

<parameter name="dotNetSoapEncFix" value="true"/>

in your WSDD.

Alternatively (and for better interoperability results in general), switch
to "wrapped" document/literal style.
