Microsoft.Web.Services3.ResponseProcessingException

Question

I deployed a web service that used WSE 3.0 to a test server. I am getting the cryptic error below. Have any idea what this means and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Microsoft.Web.Services3.ResponseProcessingException: WSE910: An error happened during the processing of a response message, and you can find the error in the inner exception. You can also find the response message in the Response property. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: 'wsse' is an undeclared namespace.

Answer 1

System.Xml.XmlException: 'wsse' is an undeclared namespace. Line 1, position 97.

Well if this statement is true then you have the wrong namespace. Check out your solution files to make sure they're under the write ns'es.

I found a solution. Since the dll was working when I called it from a windows client but was failing when called from a web service I suspected that the problem might be permissions related. I set the web service to impersonate a user with sufficient permissions. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306158 for how to information. Now it works. Hope this helps someone else, Dan
