\par Hi MR,
\par
\par For XML Webservice, the request/response document is a standard xml document so all the element in it conform to the XML 1.0/namepsace standards. The prefix you mentioned just actually called namespace prefix which is just an alias of a certain namespace URI, for example:
\par
\par <element xmlns:ns1="urn:test:method" ....>
\par
\par the ns1 is just alias of "urn:test:method" , so the important value is the "urn:test:method" rathe\f1 r than "ns1". We can replace the "ns1" with whatever prefix we like, in other words, the following three ones are identical([1] ,[2] and [3]:
\par [1]
\par <element xmlns:ns1="urn:test:method">
\par <ns1:sub />
\par </element>
\par
\par [2]
\par <element xmlns:ns3="urn:test:method">
\par <ns3:sub />
\par </element>
\par \f0
\par [3]
\par
\par <element xmlns="urn:test:method">
\par <sub />
\par </element>
\par
\par
\par So for your scenario, if your concern is only the namespace prefix, I don't think you need to worry about it. Just set the correct "RequestElementName" and "RequestNamespace" is enough. For example, the following webmethod:
\par
\par [WebMethod]
\par \tab\tab [SoapDocumentMethod(RequestElementName="submitOrderBatch",RequestNamespace="urn:OrderOperations",
\par \tab\tab\tab ResponseElementName="submitOrderBatchResponse", ResponseNamespace="urn:OrderOperations"
\par
\par \tab\tab\tab )]
\par \tab\tab
\par \tab\tab public string SubmitOrderBatch()
\par \tab\tab\{
\par \tab\tab\tab return "Hello World";
\par \tab\tab\}
\par
\par
\par will generate the below output:
\par
\par <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
\par <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
\par <soap:Body>
\par <submitOrderBatch xmlns="urn:OrderOperations" />
\par </soap:Body>
\par </soap:Envelope>
\par
\par it is identical to this one in XML perspective:
\par
\par <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
\par <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
\par <soap:Body>
\par <ns1:submitOrderBatch xmlns:ns1="urn:OrderOperations" />
\par </soap:Body>
\par </soap:Envelope>

\par Hi..
\par
\par Ehh... AFAIK Axis works using the WSDL, SOAP, XSD, XML standards (WS
\par Stack). Thats essentially what being a WebService is all about. Since
\par this is XML based, the prefix cannot be important. The prefix is
\par nothing else than an 'alias' to the, usualy pretty-, large namespace
\par uri.
\par
\par If on the other hand the implementation uses string manipulation,
\par regular expressions or anything else than a real XML parser.. it could
\par be a problem.
\par
\par Hope this helps,
\par
\par Marvin Smit.
