Java Web服务的C＃解析响应

Question

I am calling a Java WebLogic web service from my .Net application. I have added a service reference to the jws service.

The service can be called fine and I can see the response in Fiddler, however the problem is that the propery listOfHolds is coming as null although I can see a list of holds in the XML of the response.

Here is the code for calling

holdsList result = proxy.viewHoldsList(request.AccountNo);
int noOfHolds = result.NumberOfHolds; // This value is read fine
object[] holds = result.listOfHolds; // This is coming as Null despite the values in the response

Here is the response XML as captured by Fiddler

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

I have faced a similar problem before and the problem was a missing xmlns attribute on one of the tags. In this case I am suspecting the extra <ns0:xsiType>HoldDetails</ns0:xsiType> tag that is coming under the <ns0:item> tag.

Update Even after the web service provider removed the extra <xsiType> tag, I am unable to read the listOfHolds .

My questions are:

• Can I do anything in my .Net code so that I get the intended value for listOfHolds ?
• Can I suggest any change to the owner of the Java web service?
• [Optional] Why NumberOfHolds is being successfully read from the response but not listOfHolds ?

Answer 1

The vendor of the web service has made a change. They changed xsi:type="ns0:holdDetails" to xsi:type="ns0:HoldDetails" (H instead of h).

The point is in Java, and unlike .Net as far as I can tell, they have a control over the generated XML from the web service.
