Re: SOAP W3C Recommendation

SOAP messages must be serializable as XML (see [1]).  From the XML 
Recommendation [2]:

"[Definition: A Name is a token beginning with a letter or one of a few 
punctuation characters, and continuing with letters, digits, hyphens, 
underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name characters.] 
Names beginning with the string "xml", or with any string which would 
match (('X'|'x') ('M'|'m') ('L'|'l')), are reserved for standardization in 
this or future versions of this specification."

So, it's very clearly in the Recommendations if you know where to look.

        Subject:        SOAP W3C Recommendation


Hello everyone,
 
I am trying to consume a webservice whose input parameters follow this 
schema definition
 
<s:element name="Insert">
    <s:complexType>
        <s:sequence>
              <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="dataObject" 
type="s:string" /> 
              <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="xmlPayload" 
type="s:string" /> 
          </s:sequence>
  </s:complexType>
 
as I generate the correspondent SOAP message, I get an error saying that 
my message isn't W3C conform, because tags beginning with "xml" aren't 
allowed. I looked at the specification but I didn't find this restriction. 
Is it really against the specification to have a tag beginning with "xml" 
(in this case xmlPayload) in your SOAP message ?
