RE: How to communicate between Apache-SOAP and MSSOAP
saying that the apache and ms implementations of wsdl are incompatible is
misleading at best
when you employ a wsdl on the client side (using ms soap toolkit) it produces
soap requests that can be received and processed by apache soap server without
the server side knowing about the contents of the wsdl file or even knowing that
the requests were generated using a wsdl file. It simply doesn't care.
It must be said though that there are issues with the soap envelopes that are
produced using this method and having them understood by apache. I have come
across the following issues...
[ Note that my system architecture is as follows : visual basic client using the
high level API of ms apache soap toolkit 2.0 beta 1 running under NT4 and
exploiting a wsdl file talking to an apache soap 2.1 service running under a
tomcat 3.2.1 server on solaris 2.6 ]
1. ensure that your WSDL file specifies UTF-8 encoding - ie. first line should
be : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> rather than UTF-16 as you see in
some wsdl file examples
2. the classic obstacle to ms-apache interop is the xsi:type problem. The MS
high level API does not put xsi:type into the request. Apache soap 2.1 has the
functionality to get around this (so you cannot use apache soap 2.0) - the way
to exploit this is described in Sanjiva's change comments available here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=soap-dev&m=97901982213396&w=2 (you basically
need to make some additional entries in your deployment descriptor for the
primitives and deploy)
3. Apache will put "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" in the response
packet. But microsoft will only want to see "Content-Type: text/xml" if you are
using the high level API (note that this is not a problem if using the low level
API). You will need to put a hack into the apache code or into a tcp/ip tunnel
to remove this from the response packet. Microsoft acknowledges this as a bug
and have said that a fix will be present in MS SOAP Toolkit 2.0 beta 2 (promised
for mid March).
with all this you should be able to get soap calls using primitives as call
paramater and return types
note that arrays and structs as parameter call and return are AFAIK not
supported by microsoft in the high level API until MS SOAP Toolkit 2.0 beta 2
(available mid-march)

More like incompatible at this time. But I don't really know the details.
This stuff is all pretty new and interoperability seems to be an issue.

so apache implementation of wsdl and ms soap implementation are different??
