Question

I am working with a wsdl which is automatically adding extra elements into the xml. In order for it to comply with an external web service that do not use these elements. See the following image:

Left = Red elements need removed – Right = What i need it to output

i have attached the code that is creating my envelope and payload.

    Dim content As myProxy.Content = New myProxy.Content
    Dim inputguid As String = Guid.NewGuid.ToString
    Dim service As myProxy.WebService = New myProxy.WebService
    Dim str As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
    Dim payload As myProxy.Payload = New myProxy.Payload

    'payload
    str.LoadXml(xmlstr)

    'manifest
    service.payloadManifest = New myProxy.PayloadManifest
    service.payloadManifest.manifest = New myProxy.Manifest() {New myProxy.Manifest}
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).element = "GetVehicleServiceHistory"
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).namespaceURI = ""
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).contentID = "Content0"
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).version = "2.01"
    service.SoapVersion = SoapProtocolVersion.Soap11

    service.UserAgent = "Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1"
    Dim usertoken As New Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens.UsernameToken("userid", "password", Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens.PasswordOption.SendPlainText)

    service.RequestSoapContext.Security.Tokens.Add(usertoken)
    service.RequestSoapContext.Security.MustUnderstand = False

    payload.content = New myProxy.Content() {content}
    ReDim Preserve payload.content(0)
    payload.content(0).Any = str.DocumentElement
    payload.content(0).id = "Content0"

    service.Url = "http://localhost:8080"
    service.ProcessMessage(payload)

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Dim content As blah.Content = New blah.Content
    Dim inputguid As String = Guid.NewGuid.ToString
    Dim service As blah.WebService = New blah.WebService
    Dim str As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
    Dim payload As blah.Payload = New blah.Payload

    'payload
    str.LoadXml(xmlstr)

    'manifest
    service.payloadManifest = New blah.PayloadManifest
    service.payloadManifest.manifest = New blah.Manifest() {New blah.Manifest}
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).element = "GetVehicleServiceHistory"
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).namespaceURI = ""
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).contentID = "Content0"
    service.payloadManifest.manifest(0).version = "2.01"
    service.SoapVersion = SoapProtocolVersion.Soap11

    service.UserAgent = "Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1"


    payload.content = New blah.Content() {content}
    ReDim Preserve payload.content(0)
    payload.content(0).Any = str.DocumentElement
    payload.content(0).id = "Content0"

    service.ProcessMessage(payload)

noticed i’ve removed the WSE coding:-

within the web reference reference.vb i’ve added the following code in the pcublic sub new –

        Dim policy As New Policy()
        policy.Assertions.Add(New MyAssertion())
        Me.SetPolicy(policy)

and then

Public Class MyPolicy
    Inherits SoapFilter
    Public Overrides Function ProcessMessage(ByVal envelope As SoapEnvelope) As SoapFilterResult
        'creating the <wsse:Security> element in the outgoing message
        Dim securityNode As XmlNode = envelope.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "wsse:Security", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd")
        Dim securityAttr As XmlAttribute = envelope.CreateAttribute("soap:mustunderstand")
        securityAttr.Value = "1"

        usernameTokenNode.AppendChild(userNameNode)
        usernameTokenNode.AppendChild(pwdNode)
        securityNode.AppendChild(usernameTokenNode)
        envelope.ImportNode(securityNode, True)
        Dim node As XmlNode = envelope.Header
        node.AppendChild(securityNode)


        Dim actionnode As XmlNode = envelope.Header("wsa:Action")
        envelope.Header.RemoveChild(actionnode)

        Return SoapFilterResult.[Continue]

Public Overrides Function ProcessMessage – overwrites the processmessage and lets me manually edit the envelope

i needed to manually remove the elements i did not need and manually insert the elements Idid need:
