.NET client proxy consume AXIS web service

Question

I have to create a .NET web service client which interface a Java AXIS web service. My problem is related to the fact that when invoking the WS this return an array of 256 elements (which is right) but every element has null value in its properties.

The wsdl is as follow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu" 
                  xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" 
          xmlns:impl="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu" 
          xmlns:intf="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu" 
          **xmlns:tns1="http://model.sms.mycompany.eu"** 
          xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" 
          xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" 
          xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<!--WSDL created by Apache Axis version: 1.4 Built on Apr 22, 2006 (06:55:48 PDT)-->
 <wsdl:types>
  <schema elementFormDefault="qualified" 
          targetNamespace="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu" 
          xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <import namespace="http://model.sms.mycompany.eu"/>
   <element name="getCountries">
    <complexType/>
   </element>
   <element name="getCountriesResponse">
    <complexType>
     <sequence>
      <element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="getCountriesReturn" type="**tns1:Country**"/>

   </element>

      <wsdl:output message="impl:getCountriesResponse" name="getCountriesResponse"></wsdl:output>
   </wsdl:operation>
   <wsdl:portType name="SapServiceOut">
      <wsdl:operation name="getCountries">
         <wsdl:input message="impl:getCountriesRequest" name="getCountriesRequest">
       </wsdl:input>
       <wsdl:output message="impl:getCountriesResponse" name="getCountriesResponse"></wsdl:output>
      </wsdl:operation>
   </wsdl:portType>

   <wsdl:binding name="SapServiceOutSoapBinding" type="impl:SapServiceOut">
      <wsdlsoap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
      <wsdl:operation name="getCountries">
         <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/>
         <wsdl:input name="getCountriesRequest">
            <wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/>
         </wsdl:input>
         <wsdl:output name="getCountriesResponse">
            <wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/>
         </wsdl:output>
      </wsdl:operation>
   </wsdl:binding>
   <wsdl:service name="SapServiceOutService">
      <wsdl:port binding="impl:SapServiceOutSoapBinding" name="SapServiceOut">
         <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/XBP/services/SapServiceOut"/>
      </wsdl:port>
   </wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>

I have tested the service with SoapUI and this is the result

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
                  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
                  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soapenv:Body>
      **<getCountriesResponse xmlns="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu">**
         <getCountriesReturn>
            <description>Afghanistan</description>
            <id>AF</id>
         </getCountriesReturn>
         <getCountriesReturn>
            <description>Antigua/Barbuda</description>
            <id>AG</id>
         </getCountriesReturn>
         ...
      </getCountriesResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

I have seen that there is a difference between the two namespaces (enclosed between **) but still I dont understand how to correct the WSDL to make it work.

Can somebody address me on right way? Thanks a lot

In the response all the objects are on the same schema but in your wsdl you define getCountriesReturn with a type of another namespace. You can fix it changing your wsdl to include Country type in the http://service.sms.mycompany.eu schema:

<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu" 
              xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"

      xmlns:intf="http://service.sms.mycompany.eu" 
      xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" 
      xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" 
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
