Hi,

I am using asp.net (vb.net) to access a set of 3rd party web services and have successfully accessed some of them, however, when I try to access a particular web service, I get the following error:

No Deserializer found to deserialize a ':defauts' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.

I have noticed that it uses anchors to refer to things further down the document, which their example does not do and I wondered if this was the cause of the problems I am having.

e.g.

Sample created by .NET serialisation
...

<defauts href="#id2"/>

...

<soapenc:Array id="id2" soapenc:arrayType="tns:BeanDefaut[1]">

<Item href="#id4"/>

</soapenc:Array>

...

<tns:BeanDefaut id="id4" xsi:type="tns:BeanDefaut">

<code xsi:type="xsd:string">609</code>

<valeur xsi:type="xsd:string">CONNAISSANCE_ND</valeur>

</tns:BeanDefaut>


Example document given by creator of web service:

<defauts xsi:type="g03:ArrayOfBeanDefaut"

soapenc:arrayType="g03:BeanDefaut[]">

<beanDefaut xsi:type="g03:BeanDefaut">

<code xsi:type="xsd:string">CIRC_BOUCLE</code>

<valeur xsi:type="xsd:string"></valeur>

</beanDefaut>

<beanDefaut xsi:type="g03:BeanDefaut">

<code xsi:type="xsd:string">TENSION</code>

<valeur xsi:type="xsd:string"></valeur>

</beanDefaut>

</defauts>


I generated the .net classes from the wsdl files that were provided. I am using Visual Studio 2005, .NET framework v2.0, but I also tried generating the wsdl using the 1.1 wsdl.exe and that provided similar results.

Do I need to override the serialisation and produce my own XML for the arrays?

Any help gratefully received,

David
