Hi,
We have an Axis web service developed in Java that expects XML document(SOAP) as input and returns XML document as output. The service definition is like:
import org.w3c.axis.Element
import org.w3c.axis.Document
...
public Element[] getStatus (Element[])
....
We need to invoke this service from my .NET client. We have generated the .NET stub from the WSDL of the project. However, I am not able to call the web service from the stub. I am passing a
System.XML.XMLDocument class objects's OuterXML as input to the .NET stub, but the return is a null object. Even the service is getting invoked, but the request is not getting properly serialized.
Can anyone please help?

To Add on, While testing the web service, it is observed that when Java client is consuming the web service, the XML is received by the service in proper format. However, when .NET client is consuming the web service, the XML format is getting changes. i.e < is getting changed to &lt; and > is getting changed to &gt;
Can anyone throw some light?

My Web Service is written in Java, hoisted on Axis 1.1 platform. The Web service takes Element(of org.apache.w3c.Element) as input arguments and returns Element as output. It takes XML as input and returns XML as output. The XML exchange is supported on SOAP protocol. I am trying to access my webservice from .NET client. I have converted the WSDL file to generate the client stub. In the client code, I have defined an object of XmlDocument type and loaded an XML from XmlDocument.Load method and passed the XmlDocument.OuterXml as input. However, when I am monitoring the input on my webservice, I am receiving the SOAP envelop in XML(i.e with opening and closing angular bracket <>), but the XML content, read from the file is getting distorted. The < is getting converted to &lt; and > converted to &gt;. Please help.

hi koushik, i am facing the same problem. have u found a solution for the problem? If so can you please share the solution with us?

I have been through the nasty integration process consuming AXIS 1.3 with .NET. I'm keeping a growing log of my solutions here.
