hi everybody,

I am trying to serialize a request to send XML API . My sample case is around GetSite.
1. Downloaded latest schema (8.0.0)
2. Created c# classes by using xsd /c fileName1 fileName2 ... where file names are related xsd files from schema.
I think the problem is in these classess.
The following is for the complex type getSite

[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("xsd", "4.0.30319.1")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace = "http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service/site")]
public partial class getSite : bodyContentType
{
}

....
3. After I serialized this I get the following xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<message xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service">
<header>
    <securityContext>
      <webExID xmlns="http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/common">webExID</webExID>
      <password xmlns="http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/common">webExPassword</password>
      <siteID xmlns="http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/common">siteID</siteID>
      <partnerID xmlns="http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/common">partnerID</partnerID>
    </securityContext>
</header>
<body>
    <bodyContent xmlns:q1="http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service/site" xsi:type="q1:getSite">
      <q1:returnSettings />
    </bodyContent>
</body>
</message>

====>

When I submit this into the webex server this is the response:

<serv:reason>
validation: unable to instantiate com.webex.xmlapi.service.binding.GetSite; java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.webex.xmlapi.service.binding.GetSite
</serv:reason>

I think the bodyContent part should be something like this:

<bodyContent xsi:type="site:getSite">

To be able to get such an XML output what should I have in the class file? or if you have any other recommendation I am ready to hear.

Thanks in advance ...

Hello,

     xmlns:site is already defined in the schema. XML API ignores new namespace definition in the XML request, aside from xmlns:xsi and xsi:type. xsi:type="site:getSite" would work, as would xsi:type="java:com.webex.xmlapi.service.binding.site.GetSite". I'm not familiar with c# XML generation from schema, but there should be a way to make it use the already defined namespace for the site service.
