problem using soap header for session ID for .net clients

[Zihong Lu <zl...@extremenetworks.com>]

I have run into a problem using sessionID in soap header, for .net clients
that uses wsdl.exe generated proxy.  I have followed this link to use
SimpleSessionHandler, 

http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_04/online/wsdl_kjones_04_29_03/

with which I have successfully made it work for axis, gSoap, and SOAP::Lite
perl clients.  

I have also used the method described in this link
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=108324718302792&w=2, to try
connect .net clients without any success.  I was using doc/lit wrapped
style.  While the link there did mention it is for doc/literal style, and
the wsdl indicates that it is doc/literal style,  (see wsdl included at the
end), the response soap header looks to me is not doc/lit style. Any idea
why .net doesn't work?

.net->axis request:
===================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
    <getSession xmlns="urn:myname.com">
        <username xmlns="">admin</username>
        <password xmlns="" />
    </getSession>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
===================

the axis-> .net response:
=========================
287
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
