[SOLVED] Using Spyne, trying to condense the multiple namespaces generated to a single namespace in a SOAP request

Using Spyne, trying to condense the multiple namespaces generated to a single namespace in a SOAP request

I have the below SOAP request generated by SOAPUI using ComplexModel approach of Spyne request.

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
        xmlns:ava="Namespace-1"
        xmlns:book="spyne.example.django.models">
       <soapenv:Header/>
       <soapenv:Body>
          <ava:GetChangesRequest>
             <book:RequestIds>String1</book:RequestIds>
             <book:From>2019-09-22</book:From>
             <!--Optional:-->
             <book:StartIndex>0</book:StartIndex>
          </ava:GetChangesRequest>
       </soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Envelope>

And ComplexModel of request is below.

class GetChangesRequest(ComplexModel):
    RequestIds = Unicode.customize(min_occurs=1)
    From = Date.customize(min_occurs=1)
    StartIndex = Integer.customize(default=0, min_occurs=0)

And @rpc definition is

 @rpc(
        GetChangesRequest,
        _returns=GetChangesResponse,
        _in_message_name='GetChangesRequest',
        _out_message_name='GetChangesResponse',
        _body_style='bare',
    )

Now I am looking to avoid these multiple namespaces in the Request.

Followed this Stackoverflow post Remove the namespace from Spyne response variables

and was able to manage customize the response the way I wanted. But could not find any such approach for the SOAP Request thru Spyne.

Any pointers here will help.

Solution

You need to have the tns argument you pass to the Application to be the same as the GetChangesRequest namespace value.

class GetChangesRequest(ComplexModel):
    __namespace__ = 'Namespace-1'

    RequestIds = Unicode.customize(min_occurs=1)
    From = Date.customize(min_occurs=1)
    StartIndex = Integer.customize(default=0, min_occurs=0)
