SOAP returns data, but C# says null response

Post by Warlib »

I created simple console application and "Add service references..." to https://github.com/OTRS/otrs/blob/rel-3 ... ector.wsdl. Namespace is "OTRS".

app.config:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
    </configSections>
    <startup> 
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
    </startup>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <customBinding>
                <binding name="GenericTicketConnector_Service">
                    <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap12" writeEncoding="utf-8" />
                    <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Negotiate" />
                </binding>
            </customBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="http://server/otrs/nph-genericinterface.pl/Webservice/GenericTicketConnector"
                binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="GenericTicketConnector_Service"
                contract="OTRS.GenericTicketConnector_Interface" name="GenericTicketConnector_endPoint" />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Simple code is:

Code: Select all

            OTRS.GenericTicketConnector_InterfaceClient tst = new OTRS.GenericTicketConnector_InterfaceClient();
            OTRS.OTRS_SessionCreate sc = new OTRS.OTRS_SessionCreate();
            sc.ItemElementName = OTRS.ItemChoiceType8.UserLogin;
            sc.Item = "soap";
            sc.Password = "1234567";
            OTRS.OTRS_SessionCreateResponse res = tst.SessionCreate(sc);
When I execute tst.SessionCreate I see in Fiddler:

Request:

Code: Select all

POST http://server/otrs/nph-genericinterface.pl/Webservice/GenericTicketConnector HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8; action="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/SessionCreate"
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Authorization: Negotiate YIIJD...
Host: server
Content-Length: 593
Expect: 100-continue

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"><s:Header><VsDebuggerCausalityData xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/vstudio/diagnostics/servicemodelsink">uIDPo4PEabC5oGtEiCOwnHEOmXwAAAAAvK+FPsGFCEOmZUNvMy/N/J/fhkSfwzNJpaMe4vDOM+AACQAA</VsDebuggerCausalityData></s:Header><s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><SessionCreate><UserLogin xmlns="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/">soap</UserLogin><Password xmlns="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/">1234567</Password></SessionCreate></s:Body></s:Envelope>
and proper response:

Code: Select all

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 508
Connection: close

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding" xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:soapenc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soap:Body><SessionCreateResponse xmlns="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/"><SessionID>93gUJnw5fa9EaZzs59B1FBvwV4re2V1o</SessionID></SessionCreateResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
But OTRS.OTRS_SessionCreateResponse res = tst.SessionCreate(sc) always return null. As far as I understand something is wrong with WSDL file. But I can't find the mistake. :-(

I already published at c# firum, but unfortunately there is no any answers for now.

The problem with WSDL file which is placed: https://github.com/OTRS/otrs/blob/rel-3 ... ector.wsdl. Such kind of web interface description used from different languages and potentially the same problem occur.

you should not trust on automatic code generation but do the coding yourself instead. You can find an example perl code on the same place like the WSDL file

Manual SOAP XML parsing which responses by OTRS is not right decision. It works, but it's wrong way.
In this case I don't understand for what purpose wsdl file was created.

well other people (also with other programming languages) manged to use it without issues. So it seems not to be an WSDL file issue

I saw several examples of using SOAP web interfaces at different languages and they use manual SOAP XML parsing without using WSDL file.
Also I used tool SOAP UI which is Java based to debug responses and deserialization is also wrong.
In C# I saw that names of classes generated from WSDL file differ than names which is responded by OTRS.

If I create a session via Perl Script it looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soap:Body><SessionCreateResponse xmlns="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/"><SessionID>FO77jqeUi81bxi9UQMQ6NGs3AOx3p0DJ</SessionID></SessionCreateResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

If I create session in C# app using generated by WSDL classes I got response from OTRS:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding" xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:soapenc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soap:Body><SessionCreateResponse xmlns="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/"><SessionID>l6SFgBzxF4zBI9NwPgtR6vhrxSC59pjX</SessionID></SessionCreateResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
So, exactly the same, but deserialization doesn't work.

Good afternoon. I know how to solve your problem. All the matter in the tag selection in the contract. It is necessary to rebuild the proxy under another parser. Contact me and I will explain everything in detail.

Just for any case. I had tried to use recommendation from the article http://www.edinkapic.com/2013/06/callin ... m-net.html at the beggining of my experiments. I generated wrapper using SVCUTIL.EXE /wrapped /serializer:XmlSerializer GenericTicketConnector.wsdl but, unfortunately, I coulddn, find suitable namespaces in created *.cs file. In attached zip file Reference files generated by Visual Studio (Reference_old) and by SVCUTIL.EXE (Reference.new).

Another command line recommendation was generation from wsdl URL: svcutil /wrapped /serializer:XmlSerializer http://wsdl_url/

but I used generation from local wsdl file.

I managed to fix your issue. Herewith I have added the code. But this only works for CreateTicketResponse, you might have to change other parts of the code accordingly.

What changes I made
Added the correct namespace
Modified the order according to the soap response by Fiddler

Changes made

Code: Select all

[System.ServiceModel.MessageBodyMemberAttribute(Name="TicketCreateResponse", Namespace="http://www.otrs.org/TicketConnector/", Order=0)]

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType="positiveInteger", Order=1)]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Order=2)]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType="positiveInteger", Order=0)]

I wrote short article http://www.bizkit.ru/2015/02/24/2614/ where described problems with WSDL file and some recommendations. I still have some problems with several properties in OTRS_TicketGetResponse_Ticket class, and can't find suitable decision.

Thank you.

Did you try changing the order on those properties?

Yes, I placed properties corresponding SOAP response sequence. Today I found mistake, create new WSDL file and renew zip file in my blog. It properly returns all values which return OTRS for OTRS_TicketGetResponse_Ticket class. Unfortunately in SOAP response is missed Article property (OTRS_TicketGetResponse_Article). I don't know why.

Where to get all classes properties and sequence? The OTRS developer documentation is missed some of properties and there is no sequence (order) description at all.

I have created in GitHub request to merge current WSDL file with my fork.
