Undeclared Prefix error?

[Steve Barham <st...@formicary.net>]

Hi,

I'm using Axis and WSS4j to build a secure web service (using Orion as the
container). I'm running into the following problem - while trying to call
from a Java Axis client, I get the following exception on the server:

WSDoAllReceiver: cannot convert into document; nested exception is:
	org.xml.sax.SAXException: Error: URI=null Line=32: Undeclared prefix:

Based on the SOAP request trace (will attach on request), this looks to be
down to one of two elements in the request:

<wsse:SecurityTokenReference wsu:Id="STRId-12767107"
xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

or

<soapenv:Body wsu:Id="id-4918203"
xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I'm
guessing more information is required, and I'll be happy to provide it on
request - I just didn't want to flood the list with every detail of my
application on first post ;)

Cheers,

steve
