Hi,

I am trying to talk to a SOAP web service using SUDS and Python. After lots of messing around learning Python (yes I am new to this) and working out how to use SUDS I have come across a problem.

The signature of the web method I am calling, according to suds, is

(FWTCaseCreate){
ClassificationEventCode = None
Priority = None
Title = None
Description = None
Queue = None
DueDate = None
AssociatedObject = 
  (FWTObjectBriefDetails){
     ObjectID = 
        (FWTObjectID){
           ObjectType = None
           ObjectReference[] = <empty>
        }
     ObjectDescription = None
     Details = None
     Category = None
  }
Form = 
  (FWTCaseForm){
     FormField[] = <empty>
     FormName = None
     FormKey = None
  }
Internal = None
InteractionID = None
XCoord = None
YCoord = None
}

So I use SUDS to create the classes that I want and send it to the method. However I get an error. So I turned logging on and I can see that the XML that is being sent is not correct which is causing a deserialize error. The SOAP package looks like the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://www.lagan.com/wsdl/FLTypes"    xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
   <wsse:Security>
      <wsse:BinarySecurityToken>eaadf1ddff99a8</wsse:BinarySecurityToken>
   </wsse:Security>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns1:Body>
   <ns0:FWTCaseCreate>
      <ClassificationEventCode>
         <ClassificationEventCode>2000023</ClassificationEventCode>
         <Priority>1</Priority>
         <Title>testing</Title>
         <Description>testing</Description>
         <Queue/>
         <Internal>True</Internal>
         <XCoord>356570</XCoord>
         <YCoord>168708</YCoord>
      </ClassificationEventCode>
   </ns0:FWTCaseCreate>
</ns1:Body>

As you can see there is a 'ClassificationEventCode' element around all the other elements, this should not be there. If I cut and paste this xml into SOAPUI and first remove this element and then post it directly to the web service it works successfully.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I guess SUDS thinks that it should be there based on the WSDL.

Thanks.
