SOAP Body Problems

[Alexander Mischur <a....@web.de>]

Hello everybody,

i'm a newbie to SOAP and webservices.

I experiment some times with axis properties but i have no luck to get 
it right.

I have to write a client for a webservice thats implemented in MS .NET

In the specification the SOAP body must look like this:
<?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" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <soapenv:Body>
    <CreateExamples xmlns="http://localhost/axis/services/">
       <examples>
          <Example>
             <JoinUrl>http://ws.apache.org/axis/index.html</JoinUrl>
             <ProjectName>Apache Web Services Axis</Project>
          </Example>
          <Example>
             <JoinUrl>http://jakarta.apache.org/</JoinUrl>
             <ProjectName>Apache Jarkata</Project>
          </Example>
       </examples>
    </CreateExamples>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

But my axis client always generate this SOAP body, where the first 
letter of the xml tag are in lower case.

<?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" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <soapenv:Body>
    <CreateExamples xmlns="http://localhost/axis/services/">
       <examples>
          <example>
             <joinUrl>http://ws.apache.org/axis/index.html</joinUrl>
             <projectName>Apache Web Services Axis</project>
          </example>
          <example>
             <joinUrl>http://jakarta.apache.org/</joinUrl>
             <projectName>Apache Jarkata</project>
          </example>
       </examples>
    </CreateExamples>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


So my question is, that if SOAP is case sensitive?

If yes, and i think so,
how will i get axis to write the first letter in upper cases?

I classes i had are generetad with axis from a wsdl file.

The wsdl file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<definitions xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/"

</definitions>

The generated class example has a static block thats looks like this:

  static {
      typeDesc.setXmlType(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://localhost/axis/services/", "Example"));
      org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc elemField = new 
org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc();
      elemField.setFieldName("JoinUrl");
      elemField.setXmlName(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://localhost/axis/services/", "JoinUrl"));
      elemField.setXmlType(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string"));
      elemField.setMinOccurs(0);
      typeDesc.addFieldDesc(elemField);
      elemField = new org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc();
      elemField.setFieldName("ProjectName");
      elemField.setXmlName(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://localhost/axis/services/", 
"ProjectName"));
      elemField.setXmlType(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string"));
      elemField.setMinOccurs(0);
      typeDesc.addFieldDesc(elemField);
  }


And the static block of the  generated class ArrayOfExample looks like 
this:

  static {
      typeDesc.setXmlType(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://localhost/axis/services/", 
"ArrayOfExample"));
      org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc elemField = new 
org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc();
      elemField.setFieldName("Example");
      elemField.setXmlName(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://localhost/axis/services/", "Example"));
      elemField.setXmlType(new 
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://localhost/axis/services/", "Example"));
      elemField.setMinOccurs(0);
      elemField.setNillable(true);
      typeDesc.addFieldDesc(elemField);
  }

So i think everything i use is ok, but not the axis client configuration.

Please help me.

I thanks every one for his effort of reading this mail and helping me.
