I've anonymised a bit of this. Hopefully it doesn't detract from the useful message. stringARRAY is where I think I'm getting thrown at, but I'm not sure, so if I'm looking at the wrong place, lemme know.
From the WSDL
<xsd:element name="LongishOpName">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="stringARRAY" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="stringfield1" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="stringfield2" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
Actual method call looks like this:
string originalValue = "some useful value";
string[] usefulName1 = new[] { originalValue };
service.response[] responses = server.LongishOpName( usefulName1, someString1, someString2 );
And it generates this XML to the server (Thanks to Fiddler2):
<?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>
<LongishOpName xmlns="http://appropriate-namespace">
<stringARRAY>114003</stringARRAY>
<stringfield1>a string</stringfield1>
<stringfield2>a string</stringfield2>
</LongishOpName>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
To which I get this response
<?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>
<soapenv:Fault>
<faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>
<faultstring>org.xml.sax.SAXException: Found character data inside an array element while deserializing</faultstring>
<detail>
<ns1:hostname xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">SERVERNAME</ns1:hostname>
</detail>
</soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Is my soap message actually coming out malformed? (yes I am using the ASP.NET web references to do all the lifting, I'm not generating by hand)
Should I be doing something different?
Do I just need to go home and sleep on it and tomorrow everything will "just work"?
