Question

I have to send an XML as a SOAP response to a SAP WAS.

SAP is quite fussy with what you are sending (special characters and stuff), and by now I want to exhaust all possibilities.

Is there a way when you make a myXMLDoc.LoadXml
to specify something like “do not shorten tags when empty”?

Usually when you make this:

<item>
<Trkorr>TDEK978887</Trkorr>
<Sequence>0</Sequence>
<Solicit>cggaste</Solicit>
<Type></Type><Id></Id><Number></Number><Message></Message>
</item>

It transforms it to:

<item>
<Trkorr>TDEK978887</Trkorr>
<Sequence>0</Sequence>
<Solicit>cggaste</Solicit>
<Type/><Id/><Number/><Message/>
</item>

Any property I’m missing?

BTW (I don’t think it’s worth another question, so…)

<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap-env:Body>
        <soap-env:Fault>
            <faultcode>soap-env:Server</faultcode>
            <faultstring xml:lang="en">SOAP processing failure, error id = 112</faultstring>
        </soap-env:Fault>
    </soap-env:Body>
</soap-env:Envelope>

This is the error sap’s returning.

Thanks in advance!

No, there isn’t another way without writing everything yourself.

And even with that done, that’s not the problem.
The problem is something on the SAP Server and/or the SAP Parameters you were sending beside those you show.
