Hello,

I'm trying to access a webservice which runs on our SOAP Server (Apache
Tomcat) with Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I simply added the webreference
local copy of wsdl file into dotNet Application using dotNet's "Add Web
Reference" option. I am trying to execute a function using pieces of code as
follows;

----------------------------------
   WebReference.MyService kkAPI = new WebReference.MyService();
   kkAPI.Url = "http://abc.sample.com:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"
   try
   {
       string strResult = kkAPI.CloseHandle(dolXML);
       MessageBox.Show(strResult);
   }
   catch (Exception dolError)
   {
       MessageBox.Show( "Error Source : "+dolError.Source+"\n"+
       "Error Message : "+dolError.Message+"\n"+
       "Inner Exception : "+dolError.InnerException+"\n"+
       "Target Site : "+dolError.TargetSite+"\n");
   }
------------------------------------

and dotNet raises an error as follows

------------------------------------
Error:
   There is an error in XML document(6,47). System.InalidCastException:
Cannot assign object of type System.Boolean to an object of type
System.String at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.
XmlSerializationReader1.Read3_OpenSessionResponse()
------------------------------------

while running a code in webReference that generated by dotNet as follows

------------------------------------
public string CloseHandle(string xml) {
   object[] results = this.Invoke("CloseHandle", new object[] {xml});
   return ((string)(results[0]));
}
------------------------------------

this code sends an xml to soap server as follows;

------------------------------------
<?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="urn:testAPI"
    xmlns:types="urn:testAPI/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/">
<tns:CloseHandle>
       <xml xsi:type="xsd:string">
               &lt;request xmlns='urn:testAPI'&gt;
                   &lt;session id='15'/&gt;
               &lt;/request&gt;
       </xml>
</tns:CloseHandle>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
------------------------------------

and soap server responses as follows;

------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:CloseHandle
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:ns1="urn:testAPI">

<return xsi:type="xsd:boolean">true</return>
<xmlout xsi:type="xsd:string">
<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?>
 <response>
     <session id=&quot;1&quot;/>
 </response>
</xmlout>
</ns1:CloseHandle>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
------------------------------------
