External webcall SOAP header not being set.

Hello,
 
Currently the proxy code generated by the wsdl2apex utility is behaving badly in regard to SOAP headers. From the documentation, it is said that these headers are supported via the public fields generated in the SOAP proxy class. I have no problem when using these headers to call out to my service. The problem however is that the proxy class does NOT read the headers passed back from the remote call and populate these fields. See code below:
 
The problem:
EXTAPI.EXTAPISoap stub = new EXTAPI.EXTAPISoap();
stub.Login();
// this is not set, even though the SOAP header DOES exist in the XML passed back
stub.MFResponseHeader == null; <-- This value should not be null!
 
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
 
Here is my proxy class:

    public static testMethod void Test() {

Can you please post the XML response with the soap headers?


SpectorSpector

Certainly! Here is the raw xml response message...

Code:
<—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:Header>
         <MFAuthHeader xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
            <EXTID />
            <EXTAccountID />
            <EXTUserID />
            <EXTUserName />
            <EXTUserEmail />
            <EXTSessionID />
            <EXTServerLocation />
            <MFSessID />
            <MFDomainName />
         </MFAuthHeader>
         <MFResponseHeader xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
            <ResponseCode>SUCCESS</ResponseCode>
            <ErrorMessage>Nothing</ErrorMessage>
            <ErrorHTML>Nothing</ErrorHTML>
            <ErrorCode>0</ErrorCode>
         </MFResponseHeader>
      </soap:Header><soap:Body>
      <LoginResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" />
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

It seems there is a bug in the way response soap headers are parsed.
I will file a bug. In case you contact support, use bug id: #188151

Do you have control over the service? Can you change
the service to return login result in soap body? Or as HTTP headers?



SpectorSpector
Yes I do have full control over the service, but I really wanted to avoid creating messy return types that piggy-back response status type fields (thus bloating my WSDL greatly as I add more return types).
 
Do you know the nature of the parsing bug? Is there anyway I can format my soap headers to comply with the current parsing scheme?
 
Also, I see that I can read HTTP headers from the soap proxy class, but I don't see these "hidden" values documented anywhere except in the one example in the docs. For example, I see that I can access outputHttpHeaders_x, but I have no idea where that variable is coming from. I don't see it in the proxy class, and the class doesn't seem to be derived from a base class. Where can I see a list of this hidden fields?
 
Thanks for your help,
Spector
cheenathcheenath
outputHttpHeaders_x, etc is added to the generated stub in Summer 08. Did your instance
get updated to the latest? You will also have to regenerate the stub (wsdl2apex) after the
upgrade.

I dont think there is an easy way to workaround the parsing problem.




SpectorSpector
I created this dev account only about 1 month ago. I added the Summer '08 VisualForce component about 2 days ago, along with my generated WSDL class. What do I need to do to upgrade my instance so that my wsdl2apex will generate those members?
cheenathcheenath
Which instance are you on? na1, na2, na3 etc.

Some of the instance are upgraded to summar 08 last week. Rest will be
upgraded this week.


cheenathcheenath
You can check which version you are on by downloading the wsdl:

Go to setup > develop > api > download

If the wsdl endpoint ends with 12.0 you are still on older vesion.
If it is 13.0 then you are on summer 08.

https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/13.0


SpectorSpector

I'm on na2. I also have another account on na5. It appears that both instances are still using 12.0. Is there anyway to request to be upgraded to the updated instances?

Thanks again,

Spector

cheenathcheenath
No way to request for upgrade. This weekend all remaining instances will be upgraded.
