SOAP The root element for the request could not be determined - soap

I'm getting the following error when I try and post some SOAP requests:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<soap:Code>
<soap:Value>soap:Receiver</soap:Value>
</soap:Code>
<soap:Reason>
<soap:Text>The root element for the request could not be determined. When RoutingStyle is set to RequestElement, SoapExtensions configured via an attribute on the method cannot modify the request stream before it is read. The extension must be configured via the SoapExtensionTypes element in web.config or the request must arrive at the server as clear text.</soap:Text>
</soap:Reason>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
I'm using
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:m="http://test.#######.co.uk/ws-b/>
<soapenv:Body>
<hs:logon>
<hs:username>USER</m:username>
<hs:password>pass123</m:password>
</hs:logon>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
However, I can get some request to work using messages of a similar format. What does this mean?

"hs" namespace doesn't seem to be declared. Also you closing tags are with different namespace than openings. Can you try:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:hs="http://test.#######.co.uk/ws-b/">
<soapenv:Body>
<hs:logon>
<hs:username>USER</hs:username>
<hs:password>pass123</hs:password>
</hs:logon>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

This is what I finally got to work:
<Envelope xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<Body>
<logon xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<username>user</username>
<password>password</password>
</logon>
</Body>
</Envelope>

Twinfield every SOAP request failed

Before this project I never worked with SOAP. So I followed all of the instructions from: https://wktaaeu.force.com/nlcommunity/s/article/Setting-up-OAuth-2-0-Introduction?language=en_US and used the Postman templates on that page to make SOAP requests.
After a while I got the Access Token and company code, but I can't find out how to make other requests. With every request that I try to make from different sources on the internet I get the following error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.</faultstring>
<detail />
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Im making a mistake why every request fails but I can't figure it out.
Examples of different requests I tried
This one I took from: Postman Twinfield API request deleted transactions
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

</Query>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
Second try was by myself from the docs:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:twin="http://www.twinfield.com/">
<soapenv:Header>
<twin:Header>
<twin:AccessToken>ACCESS_TOKEN</twin:AccessToken>

</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<twin:ProcessXmlString>
<twin:xmlRequest><![CDATA[<list><type>offices</type></list>]]></twin:xmlRequest>
</twin:ProcessXmlString>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Last one also made by my reading the docs:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:twinfield="http://www.twinfield.com/">
<soap:Header>
<twinfield:Header>
<twinfield:AccessToken>ACCESS_TOKEN</twinfield:AccessToken>

</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>

<dimtype>SALARIS</dimtype>
<code>1234</code>
</read>
</twinfield:xmlRequest>
</twinfield:ProcessXmlDocument>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I'v had the same struggle as you are going through, after a while I contacted Twinfield about this and they offered me a slightly different soap xml, this is no where explained nor noted down but it worked so maybe it will work for you as well:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Header>
<h:Authentication xmlns:h="http://www.twinfield.com/" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<CompanyCode xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Twinfield.WebServices.Shared">{{Company}}</CompanyCode>
</h:Authentication>
</s:Header>
<s:Body>
<Query i:type="b:GetDeletedTransactions" xmlns="http://www.twinfield.com/" xmlns:a="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Twinfield.WebServices" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:b="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Twinfield.WebServices.DeletedTransactionsService">

<b:DateTo>2022-07-30T23:59:00</b:DateTo>
<b:Daybook></b:Daybook>
</Query>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
As you can see there a few parameters that you need to set the "Company" and the "Access code"
for the company list I've been using this xml request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:twin="http://www.twinfield.com/">
<soapenv:Header>
<twin:Header>
<twin:AccessToken>{{Accescode}}</twin:AccessToken>
</twin:Header>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<twin:ProcessXmlString>
<twin:xmlRequest><![CDATA[<list><type>offices</type></list>]]></twin:xmlRequest>
</twin:ProcessXmlString>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
if these dont work it might be that your licence within the twinfield environment needs to be adjusted so you've access to this.

.Net is messing up SOAP request format

I am using .net6 to connect to a SOAP service.
Here is the body that they expect to receive.

However if I look at the request I am sending via the

What on earth is going on? I used their WSDL to automatically create the proxy classes etc in Visual Studio. I would have thought those classes would form the SOAP correctly?
The WSDL has no instances of the text V11 or V12 so I have no idea how it could possibly know to put those in the Body...
Interestingly if I import the WSDL into SOAPUI it produces the correct Request format (Identical to the top request). Why is .net corrupting the format?

SOAP Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I'm attempting to run a search for a ticket on ChangeGear 5.0. Their API utilizes SOAP requests, and when I run a request to search I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I've looked through existing topics concerning the same issue (there are a lot of them), and I've tried all of them with no luck. Non-required parameters are included as empty tags instead of omitted entirely, I've tried capitalizing the names of the parameters, and I've made sure the request is formatted appropriately according to the WSDL.
The provided ChangeGear 5.0 documentation specifies to structure requests like so:
POST /cgweb/cgwebservices/cgwebservices.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: ...
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap12:Body>
<Search xmlns="http://www.sunviewsoftware.com/CGWebServices/">
<sessionId>string</sessionId>
<entityType>string</entityType>
<criteria>string</criteria>
<retrieveRelated>boolean</retrieveRelated>
<entityTemplate>string</entityTemplate>
</Search>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>
This is the request I'm POSTing with the specified headers:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap12:Body>
<Search xmlns="http://www.sunviewsoftware.com/CGWebServices/">
<sessionId></sessionId>
<entityType></entityType>
<criteria></criteria>
<retrieveRelated>true</retrieveRelated>
<entityTemplate></entityTemplate>
</Search>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>
The only parameter I've set is retrieveRelated because as specified by the WSDL it is the only required parameter, but I've also tried setting all the string parameters to arbitrary non-null values and received the same result. I'm sure the API is functional because when I use the login operation it returns successfully:
POST /cgweb/cgwebservices/cgwebservices.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: ...
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

<soap12:Body>
<Login xmlns="http://www.sunviewsoftware.com/CGWebServices/">

</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

<soap:Body>
<LoginResponse xmlns="http://www.sunviewsoftware.com/CGWebServices/">
<LoginResult>...</LoginResult>
</LoginResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I am using the same session I used for the login operation. Is there anything else I can try besides including empty tags for omitted parameters or capitalizing their names? The full error is:
500 Internal Server Error

The problem was that the server wasn't adhering to the WSDL. The entityTemplate parameter was required, and without it the server returns the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. When I initially tested the parameters with dummy values, out of coincidence I had accidentally forgot to set this one -- the only one that strayed from the WSDL specification.

SOAP fault "DecryptAndDeserializeUserToken" on GetMetaData for Loket

When I post the following to the web service of Loket:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:svc="http://Loket.Webservice/ServiceContracts/2008/06">

</svc:GetMetaData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
I receive an error:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
<s:Fault>

</detail>
</s:Fault>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
The error message is misleading. The user token is correct, which you can verify by calling the List method.
However, the as optional listed DataIdentity element is required. It must contain a hashed and encrypted value of the identity of a table, such as:
MqhIh6BdOHPRi1s16c+fNUmm4TO1p7HTwEKxxjgiAjB+o12lO5fq1poK4OZcfOE0yZyvwkDjCcm17foDi7V0uqp06vfgTTv5/y8WyTBz+tPoxVdSOMECHARREMOVEDS4NQz3K8zogL
With this one present, it works. Please note that if you change the DataIdentity value a little, you will still receive a DecryptAndDeserializeUserToken error message.

sudzc generates wrong soap request

I tried to use Sudzc to generate my SOAP requests. But the generated requests are wrong.
Below are the Sudzc generated soap request and the working SoapUI request of a very simple example request. Has anybody experienced the same problems?
Sudzc generated soap request:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:soap:functions:mc-style">
<soap:Body>
<urn:ZcaptoSccMatDet>
<IvMatnr>D300</IvMatnr>
</urn:ZcaptoSccMatDet>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Working SoapUI generated message:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:sap com:document:sap:soap:functions:mc-style">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn:ZcaptoSccMatDet>
<IvMatnr>D300</IvMatnr>
</urn:ZcaptoSccMatDet>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Kay,
If you need to change the output to soapenv take a look at the (Sudzc generated) code in Soap.m. In particular, check out the createEnvelope method. You can update the hardcoded references in this method from soap to soapenv.
