node-soap adding namespace to envelope


I am trying to consume this soap service: http://testws.truckstop.com:8080/v13/Posting/LoadPosting.svc?singleWsdl with node-soap, but the client is mangling the namespaces and I have been unable to find a working solution.

I believe the answer is to either add a namespace to the soap envelope, or overwrite the soap envelope.

Using Soap UI, the request should look like:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:v11="http://webservices.truckstop.com/v11" 
xmlns:web="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <v11:GetLoads>
         <v11:listRequest>
            <web:IntegrationId>integrationId</web:IntegrationId>
            <web:Password>password</web:Password>
            <web:UserName>username</web:UserName>
         </v11:listRequest>
      </v11:GetLoads>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

However, when I do:

client = soap.createClient(url);
let query = {
        listRequest: {
            Password: password,
            UserName: username,
            IntegrationId: integrationId
        }
    };
let results = client.GetLoads(query);

The client generates this xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
        xmlns:msc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/12/wsdl/contract" 
        xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" 
        xmlns:tns="http://webservices.truckstop.com/v11" 
        xmlns:q1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Posting" 
        xmlns:q2="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Objects" 
        xmlns:q3="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Posting" 
        xmlns:q4="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Objects" 
        xmlns:q5="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Posting" 
        xmlns:q6="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Objects" 
        xmlns:q7="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Posting" 
        xmlns:q8="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Objects" 
        xmlns:q9="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Posting" 
        xmlns:q10="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Objects" 
        xmlns:q11="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Posting" 
        xmlns:q12="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices.Objects">
        <soap:Body>
            <GetLoads xmlns="http://webservices.truckstop.com/v11">
                <listRequest>
                    <ns1:IntegrationId>integrationId</ns1:IntegrationId>
                    <ns1:Password>password</ns1:Password>
                    <ns1:UserName>usernam</ns1:UserName>
                </listRequest>
            </GetLoads>
        </soap:Body>
    </soap:Envelope>

This fails because IntegrationId, Password and UserName need http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices, but the namespace isn't referenced in the envelope.

I've tried updating the client to add the namespace as suggested here:

client.wsdl.definitions.xmlns.ns1 = "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices";
client.wsdl.xmlnInEnvelope = client.wsdl._xmlnsMap();

I can see the namespace in client.wsdl.xmlnInEnvelope, but it doesn't seem to change the actual generated xml.

Is there another step required to refresh the client to use the updated envelope?

I also tried overriding the root element as shown here:

        var wsdlOptions = {
            //namespaceArrayElements: "xmlns:ns1=http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices"

            "overrideRootElement": {
                "namespace": "xmlns:tns",
                "xmlnsAttributes": [{
                    "name": "xmlns:tns",
                    "value": "http://webservices.truckstop.com/v11"
                }, {
                    "name": "xmlns:ns1",
                    "value": "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices"
                }]
            }
        };
        this.loadPostClient = soap.createClient(this.tsConfig.loadPostUrl, wsdlOptions);

This changes the root body element:

<soap:Body>
    <xmlns:tns:GetLoads 
        xmlns:tns="http://webservices.truckstop.com/v11" 
        xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/WebServices">
        <listRequest>
            <ns1:IntegrationId>integrationId</ns1:IntegrationId>
            <ns1:Password>password</ns1:Password>
            <ns1:UserName>username</ns1:UserName>
        </listRequest>
    </xmlns:tns:GetLoads>
</soap:Body>

But the remote server doesn't understand.

Thank you for reading!


Solution

  • This answer was correct all along

    It wasn't working for me due to autocomplete and similar fields

    client.wsdl.xmlnInEnvelope = client.wsdl._xmlnsMap();
    

    Should have been:

    client.wsdl.xmlnsInEnvelope = client.wsdl._xmlnsMap();
    

    I left out an s and was setting xmlnInEnvelope instead of xmlnsInEvelope
