Creating ABAP proxy from WSDL fails

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to consume a web-service from an ABAP progam, to do this I create an Enterprise Service Client Proxy. But creation of the proxy fails with the error message

"Incorrect value: Unknown Namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";

I am attaching the WSDL file with this message, please let me know if anyone has a solution out for this particular problem.

br,

Santosh.

Not sure what the exact problem is here, but I think we are all misunderstanding the meaning of the error. I think the message means that the value "Unknown" is incorrect, not the Namespace. The Namespace is there for information.

The actual reason for the "Unknown" value probably varies from example to example. I expect in the case above it is the imports causing the problem.

I have the same error. Generating a proxy in SE80 from a WSDL file causes the error:

"Incorrect value: Unknown Namespace" (Without any specific namespace)

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

Hi,

I think the following are the lines that are giving you the issue

<import namespace="http://DefaultNamespace" /> 
<import namespace="http://rpc.xml.coldfusion" /> 
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />

Please check all the import source are available in the ESR.

Thanks,

Hi Prakash ,

I am trying to consume a web-service from an ABAP progam, to do this I create an Enterprise Service Client Proxy. But creation of the proxy fails with the error message

"Incorrect value: Unknown Namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ .

I have seen that you encountered a similar issue . Please let me know what you did to rectify this. This is important and I am quite new to this concept. For client confidentiality issues I cannot put the wsdl file or its content anywhere but I can provide you with certain details of the code which you might wish to see.

I have the exact same error. I generate a proxy in SE80 from a WSDL file, and I get the error:

Incorrect value: Unknown Namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/

I know the WSDL is correct, since it's an external webservice, and many more people use this webservice.Do I have to add this namespace somewhere?

your WSDL probably isn't document/literal. See [this thread|;
