SOAP envelope missing some info

[Flashdakota]

Hello

I have been struggling with a web service request for some time and i need some assistance.

I have to insert subscriber info into someone elses db.They created a web service for me.

My code looks like this:

<cfinvoke  webservice="http://41.208.61.35/legacyfallback/ws/legacyLifeWS.php?wsdl" method="register1" returnVariable="somereturn">
    <cfinvokeargument name="name" value="steve" />
    <cfinvokeargument name="mobilenumber" value="123456" />
</cfinvoke>

The person who created the web service uses php.

He checked my return and he saw this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><register1 soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><mobileNumber xsi:type="xsd:string">123456</mobileNumber></register1></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

He tried the same from his side using php to do the call and he got this return:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="http://www.callagain.co.za/soap/legacyLifeWS" xmlns:types="http://www.callagain.co.za/soap/legacyLifeWS/encodedTypes" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><register1><mobileNumber xsi:type="xsd:string">0824566072</mobileNumber><name xsi:type="xsd:string">Pieter</name></register1></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I am missing this in my envelope:

xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="http://www.callagain.co.za/soap/legacyLifeWS" xmlns:types="http://www.callagain.co.za/soap/legacyLifeWS/encodedTypes"

Please can you explain how i can get the same info my soap envlope?

Thank you

You could use CFHTTP to make the web service calls instead of using the web service features built in to CF.

See this blog post for an example: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1809-Making-SOAP-Web-Service-Requests-With-ColdFusion-And-CFHTTP.htm

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any way to manipulate it to work using the WS?

I'm just curious.

If so, how could I do it?

[JR__Bob__Dobbs]

There are some CF functions that will allow you manipulate the soap header (these can be found under XML functions topic in the CF documentation). I am not aware of a way to manipulate the soap body that CF's built in web service components generate.
