Disable wsdl in Savon 2.0

[rankin]

There was another issue with this problem but that was version 0.8. I'm using Savon 2 and I cannot figure out how to disable wsdl in my client.

The client is prepending wsdl: to my soap request literally

<wsdl:AuthRequest/>

It should be

<AuthRequest/>

[rankin]

So I found that you can set the namespace identifier with namespace_identifier on your client. However if you set it to "" you'll end up with the following:

<env:Body>
  <:AuthRequest/>
</env:Body>

If the namespace identifier is blank there should be no preceding colon. This is breaking the request I just want to be able to send:

<env:Body>
  <AuthRequest/>
</env:Body>

when not using a wsdl. Savon 2 forces you to have the preceding wsdl:

I made a patch for this. Can be see in my pull request #400

could you please provide the wsdl for debugging, because you shouldn't need to change the namespace identifier.
i'm open to add support for removing the namespace identifier, but i would like to add specs for this based on your wsdl to ensure future versions "just work".

That's just it, there is no wsdl. This is for the Zimbra SOAP API which does not use a wsdl.

I see a similar problem, but with namespace identifier being added to the message(s).
For example the UltraDNS SOAP API http://ultra-api.ultradns.com:8008/UltraDNS_WS?wsdl

The following is a valid request (skipping headers), namespace is tns.

<env:Body>
<tns:getZonesOfAccount>
<accountId>0123FOO</accountId>
<zoneType>all</zoneType>
</tns:getZonesOfAccount>
</env:Body>

Whereas the following doesn't work, which is built and sent via savon

<env:Body>
<tns:getZonesOfAccount>
<tns:accountId>0123FOO</tns:accountId>
<tns:zoneType>all</tns:zoneType>
</tns:getZonesOfAccount>
</env:Body>

Gives error

soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Found element {http://webservice.api.ultra.neustar.com/}accountId but could not find matching RPC/Literal part</faultstring></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
Savon::SOAPFault: (soap:Server) Found element {http://webservice.api.ultra.neustar.com/}accountId but could not find matching RPC/Literal part

savon code

client = Savon.client do
  wsdl "http://ultra-api.ultradns.com:8008/UltraDNS_WS?wsdl"
  wsse_auth("USER", "PASS")
end
client.call(:get_zones_of_account, message: { account_id: '01023FOO', zone_type: 'all' } )

Not sure what is the correct behavior/approach is in this case, perhaps a ignore_namespace_identifier
option while building the message ?

[r4um]

just need to set element_form_default :unqualified in above case.

Hi I have a small problem connected with the namespace identifier. When I don't set it I get:

<soap:Body>
 <tns:SaleFromBankAccount>
  <tns:storeId>xxxxx</tns:storeId>

When I set it to nil I get:

  <soap:Body>
   <:SaleFromBankAccount>
    <storeId>xxxxxx</storeId>

The ":" remain and it generates error.

@camol which version are you using and can you provide code to reproduce the problem?

What is the status for this?
Is it possible to completely remove the wsdl tag from inside the body?
