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>
