unknown namespace error when generating a client proxy

[Former Member]

We are using WAS 7.0 and I'm trying to generate a client proxy for an inhouse webservice via Object Navigator (SE80). When using the Wizard I get an error message from the Librabry Handler saying: "Unknown namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding".

A check by the colleagues who provide this Webservice says that the wsdl is ok.

Any idea for this error message?

Many Thanks.

Hello,

I am facing the same problem when trying to test the use of web services with some ws from xmethods.net.

Could someone provide me with some informations why this problem occurs? My unknown namespace is: http://schemas.xmlsoap.ort/soap/encoding/

Thx, Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

I'm no WSDl-expert, but the WSDL has to accomplish some prerequisites:

You can't use SOAP-encoding as it is not WS-I compliant and is not supported by proxy generation of SAP.

See the following link for further information: http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1.html

Especially the <wsdlsoap:binding style="rpc" ... is not supported.

Besides there are some more restrictions which are describe in SAP-Note 944029.

I've got this information from SAP-Support.

I hope this helps to solve your problem.

Regards

Michael

Hello Michael,

thanks for your answer. I will take a deeper look in the web services I would like to consume and compare them with the requirements.

Schöne Grüße nach Troisdorf,

Vanessa
