Wrong namespace if value is in WSDL

[DriesS]

Hello,

I'm using savon 0.9.9 to get some information from a service but if I use the following code to do the call he put namespaces before the values I entered if these values are in the WSDL list. The code I'm using to do some testing :

require "savon"

class SoColissimo

  def self.call_action
    response = client.request :find_point_retrait do
      soap.body = {:password => "test", :city => "london", :test => "not a field in wsdl"}
    end
  end

  protected

    def self.client
      @@client ||= Savon::Client.new do
         wsdl.document = "http://ws.colissimo.fr/pointretrait-ws-cxf/PointRetraitServiceWS?WSDL"
         wsdl.element_form_default = :qualified
      end
    end
end

This output the following request xml :

HTTPI executes HTTP GET using the net_http adapter
SOAP request: http://ws.colissimo.fr/pointretrait-ws-cxf/PointRetraitServiceWS
Content-Length: 486, Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8, 
SOAPAction: "findPointRetrait"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:wsdl="http://pointretrait.geopost.com/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ins0="http://pointretrait.geopost.com/" xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <env:Body>
    <ins0:findPointRetrait>
      <wsdl:test>not a field in wsdl</wsdl:test>
      <ins0:city>london</ins0:city>
      <ins0:password>test</ins0:password>
    </ins0:findPointRetrait>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

The fields city and password are in the WSDL and for these values he puts ins0 as namespace, how can I bypass this and remove this namespace? I tried with the wsdl.element_form_default = :qualified like in the doc but it doesn't change anything.

I think you want an elementFormDefault of unqualified (that's what's in the WSDL file in your example). If Savon isn't following the WSDL, that would be a bug (certainly possible), but at least as of when I was last hacking on Savon, it was designed to follow the namespaces in the WSDL, not to provide a lot of mechanisms to override the WSDL.

It seems that Savon isn't following WSDL now. In the add_namespace_to_body method, called from body_to_xml, if namespaces exist they are used no matter what is the value of element_form_default

if used_namespaces[newpath]
  newhash.merge(
              "#{used_namespaces[newpath]}:#{camelcased_key}" =>
                add_namespaces_to_body(value, types[newpath] ? [types[newpath]] : newpath)
            )
else
  newhash.merge(key => value)
end

@bosko could you test against v0.9.11 to see if i understood and fixed the problem?!

[bosko]

I just tested it and it is working in v0.9.11.
