Soap request object comes as null - spring ws - soap

Question

While trying from soap UI, Iam getting null values in request object even when I send values in req object. what would be the reason? Please help
Below is my endpoint
#Endpoint
public class SummaryEndPoint {
#PayloadRoot(namespace = "http://online.mysite.no", localPart ="getSummary")
public #ResponsePayload JAXBElement<EInvoicesObjects> getSummary(#RequestPayload SummaryObject summaryObject) {
//Here summaryObject.getzDocId() returns null.
return null;
}
}
Soap request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:onl="http://online.mysite.no">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<onl:getSummary soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<in0 xsi:type="onl:SummaryObject">
<ZDocId xsi:type="soapenc:string" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">asdasdsa</ZDocId>
<amountDue xsi:type="soapenc:string" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">sadadsadsa</amountDue>
</in0>
</onl:getSummary>

Answer 1

I had the same issue. After deep analysing my code I found that it's because namespaces. (See the example at https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-soap-web-service).
In your example, the parameters <ZDocID> and <amountDue> should have been included in their parent's namespace, as like: <onl:ZDocId> and <onl:amountDue>.

Answer 2

Your request class should have 'request' in the name.
Please rename your request class and try with 'SummaryObjectRequest'.
