Question

I've got a WCF SOAP client which is generating a request. This is being refused by the server as an invalid request. I've traced it down to namespaces using SOAPUI but cannot figure out how I can get the client to produce the required result.

The client was generated as a web service reference from the wsdl and is producing the following SOAP message;

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Header></s:Header>
  <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <createShipmentRequest xmlns="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/api/ship/V2">
      <integrationHeader>
        <dateTime xmlns="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/integration/core/V1">2015-07-23</dateTime>
        <version xmlns="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/integration/core/V1">2</version>
        <identification xmlns="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/integration/core/V1">
          <applicationId>some random number</applicationId>
          <transactionId>some reference number</transactionId>
        </identification>
      </integrationHeader>
    </createShipmentRequest>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

As you can see the namespaces are being outputted on the individual elements...

The working example I have has the namespaces defined in the SOAP Envelope;

<s:Envelope xmlns:v2="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/api/ship/V2" xmlns:v1="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/integration/core/V1" xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:u="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
  <s:Header></s:Header>
  <s:Body>
    <v2:createShipmentRequest>
      <v2:integrationHeader>
        <v1:dateTime>2015-07-23</v1:dateTime>
        <v1:version>2</v1:version>
        <v1:identification>
          <v1:applicationId>some random number</v1:applicationId>
          <v1:transactionId>some reference number</v1:transactionId>
        </v1:identification>
      </v2:integrationHeader>
    </v2:createShipmentRequest>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

From what I understand this should not make a difference but the sever simply rejects the request. After modifying my generated request in SOAPUI it is defiantly this causing the problem, so how can I move the two namespace definitions v1 & v2 to the SOAP Envelope and then have the correct elements use the correct prefix?

My client is initiated using the following function;

private shippingAPIPortTypeClient GetProxy() {

  BasicHttpBinding myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
  myBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Certificate;

  shippingClient = new shippingAPIPortTypeClient(myBinding, new EndpointAddress(new Uri(shippingClientSandboxEndpoint), EndpointIdentity.CreateDnsIdentity("api.royalmail.com"), new AddressHeaderCollection()));
  shippingClient.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = certificate;

  return shippingClient;
}

So it turns out I needed to create a custom MessageFormatter and attach it as a behaviour to the client operations.

For anybody else needing to do this you need 3 files;

Firstly you create a custom message class which implements Message. Here in the OnWriteStartEnvelope method you add/define the namespaces you want in the Envelope.

class RoyalMailMessage: Message {
  private readonly Message message;

  public RoyalMailMessage(Message message) {
    this.message = message;
  }
  public override MessageHeaders Headers {
    get {
      return this.message.Headers;
    }
  }
  public override MessageProperties Properties {
    get {
      return this.message.Properties;
    }
  }
  public override MessageVersion Version {
    get {
      return this.message.Version;
    }
  }
  protected override void OnWriteStartBody(XmlDictionaryWriter writer) {
    writer.WriteStartElement("Body", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
  }
  protected override void OnWriteBodyContents(XmlDictionaryWriter writer) {
    this.message.WriteBodyContents(writer);
  }
  protected override void OnWriteStartEnvelope(XmlDictionaryWriter writer) {
    writer.WriteStartElement("s", "Envelope", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
    writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "v2", null, "http://www.royalmailgroup.com/api/ship/V2");
    writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "v1", null, "http://www.royalmailgroup.com/integration/core/V1");
    writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "xsi", null, "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
    writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "xsd", null, "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");

  }
}

Then you create a custom Class which implements IClientMessageFormatter. This makes use of the Message class we defined above for outgoing requests made by the client;

public class RoyalMailMessageFormatter: IClientMessageFormatter {
  private readonly IClientMessageFormatter formatter;

  public RoyalMailMessageFormatter(IClientMessageFormatter formatter) {
    this.formatter = formatter;
  }

  public object DeserializeReply(Message message, object[] parameters) {
    return this.formatter.DeserializeReply(message, parameters);
  }

  public Message SerializeRequest(MessageVersion messageVersion, object[] parameters) {
    var message = this.formatter.SerializeRequest(messageVersion, parameters);
    return new RoyalMailMessage(message);
  }
}

We then need to create a custom class which implements IOperationBehavior. This is needed so we can attatch the custom message formatter to the service operations as a behaviour;

class RoyalMailIEndpointBehavior: IOperationBehavior {

  public RoyalMailIEndpointBehavior() {}

  public void ApplyClientBehavior(OperationDescription description, ClientOperation proxy) {
    IClientMessageFormatter currentFormatter = proxy.Formatter;
    proxy.Formatter = new RoyalMailMessageFormatter(currentFormatter);
  }

  public void AddBindingParameters(OperationDescription operationDescription, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) {

  }

  public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(OperationDescription operationDescription, DispatchOperation dispatchOperation) {

  }

  public void Validate(OperationDescription operationDescription) {

  }

}

Finally, we need to add the custom IOperation behaviour to all the service operations generated by WCF;

private shippingAPIPortTypeClient GetProxy() {

  BasicHttpBinding myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
  myBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Certificate;

  shippingClient = new shippingAPIPortTypeClient(myBinding, new EndpointAddress(new Uri(shippingClientSandboxEndpoint), EndpointIdentity.CreateDnsIdentity("api.royalmail.com"), new AddressHeaderCollection()));
  shippingClient.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = certificate;

  foreach(OperationDescription od in shippingClient.Endpoint.Contract.Operations) {
    od.Behaviors.Add(new RoyalMailIEndpointBehavior());
  }
  return shippingClient;
}

The namespaces should now be in the SOAP Envelope and the elements all use the correct prefix giving us something like;

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:v2="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/api/ship/V2" xmlns:v1="http://www.royalmailgroup.com/integration/core/V1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <s:Header></s:Header>
  <s:Body>
    <v2:createShipmentRequest>
      <v2:integrationHeader>
        <v1:dateTime>2015-07-23T20:37:07.937+01:00</v1:dateTime>
        <v1:version>2</v1:version>
        <v1:identification>
          <v1:applicationId>SOME RANDOM ID</v1:applicationId>
          <v1:transactionId>SOME RANDOM ID</v1:transactionId>
        </v1:identification>
      </v2:integrationHeader>
    </v2:createShipmentRequest>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
