webMethods Knowlegebase : XPath Editor does not generate correct document. (1756137)

Troubleshooting


Problem

When trying to create an XPath expression using a virtual service based on the ms_sample_calc.wsdl, the generated XML document is not correct.

Document as generated in XPATH Editor:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8 "?>

<soapenv:Envelope>

<soapenv:Body>

<n1>data</n1>

<n2>data</n2>

<n1>data</n1>

<n2>data</n2>

<n1>data</n1>

<n2>data</n2>

<n1>data</n1>

<n2>data</n2>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Request as generated for 'Add' operation using XMLSpy:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<m:Add xmlns:m="http://Microsoft.Samples.Http">

<m:n1>3.14159265358979E0</m:n1>

<m:n2>3.14159265358979E0</m:n2>

</m:Add>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Note the missing <Add> element and namespace prefixes. Why are the operation related elements (Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide) missing in the XPATH Editor?
