Bug in the SoapSerializer::SerializeAsAttribute function

[Sudhin Bengeri <sb...@opnet.com>]

Hi,

In the C++ code generated by WSDL2WS, for the function Axis_Serialize_*Type 
if the "param" parameter is passed as "NULL" then the function calls the 
following line of code:

pSZ->SerializeAsAttribute("nil", 
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", (void*)&(xsd_boolean_true), 
XSD_BOOLEAN);

The requirement here being that the namespace parameter 
("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance") being passed will result in 
"nil" being prefixed by "xsi:" (the namespace prefix).

However, when function SoapSerializer::SerializeAsAttribute calls 
GetNamespacePrefix, this namespace does not exist in "m_NsStack" (for a 
simple reason that that namespace is never added). Hence "nil" is prefixed 
by "ns<n>:" and further "ns<n>" is not bound a namespace which leads to a 
XML parse error at the server.

Probable solution: add the standard namespaces in function 
SoapSerializer::setSoapVersion, where currently addStandardNamespaceDecl is 
being called.

Regards,
- Sudhin.
