SOAP-ERROR when consuming .NET SOAP service and passing a complex type parameter












0














TL,DR: When consuming a SOAP service, PHP seems to always require all value types to be included in the objects but .NET doesn't seem to, suggestions ?





I have a SOAP service written in .NET (.asmx) which is being consumed by a PHP client developed by a 3rd party.



I have a [DataMember] of type Guid which poses no issues on my end, I can omit it when I initialize my complex parameter object in my "test" console application and no errors arise, here is a stripped down version of the code and the "test" application:



[DataContract]
public class ComplexType
{
[DataMember] public Guid Id {get; set;}
[DataMember] public string Member1 {get; set;}
[DataMember] public string Member2 {get; set;}
}

// -------------------

// this is a console application
var client = new MyServiceRef.MyServiceClient();
var obj = new MyServiceRef.ComplexType
{
Member1 = "Data1",
Member2 = "Data2"
// I don't include here the 'Id' member of ComplexType
};
var ret = client.MyMethod(obj);
// Works with no errors
// Inspecting obj I see 'Id' is auto-initialized as Guid.Empty

// -------------------


I also tested the service in SOAPUI, omitting the field from the payload doesn't raise any kind of issue and everything works.



On the other end, when consuming the service in PHP they experience this error



SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'Id' property



Seems like PHP is more strict in this regard, but I don't know enough about PHP to provide a meaningful suggestion.



A workaround I can think of on my end is making everything Nullable<T>: this would solve this particular issue, but is that the right way to approach this situation ?
