How do I remove the namespaces in Zend_Soap?

Question

Hi There

I am trying to use the tranlsation webservice from MyMemory: http://mymemory.translated.net/doc/spec.php

Unfortunately, Zend_Soap_Client does generate an XML reqest object that is not recognized by the service. I guess it is because of the ns1-Attribute (Namespace) within the tags. So does anyone know how to remove them?

That's basically what I do:

$client = new Zend_Soap_Client('http://mymemory.translated.net/otms/?wsdl', array(
    'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1
));

Then I call the function:

try {
    $client->otmsGet(array(
        'key' => 'xxx',
            'q' => array(
                'source' => 'Computer Science',
                'source_lang' => 'en-US',
                'target_lang' => 'de-DE'
            )
        ));
} catch(Exception $e) {
    print $client->getLastRequest();
}

The resulting XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/"&gt;
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <ns1:otmsGet>
            <ns1:key>xxx</ns1:key>
            <ns1:q>
                <ns1:source>Computer Science</ns1:source>
                <ns1:source_lang>en-US</ns1:source_lang>
                <ns1:target_lang>de-DE</ns1:target_lang>
            </ns1:q>
        </ns1:otmsGet>
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

And it should actually look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"&gt;
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <otmsGet xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"&gt;
            <key xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://tempuri.org/"&gt;mmDemo123&lt;/key&gt;
            <q xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://tempuri.org/"&gt;
                <source>control panel</source>
                <source_lang>en-US</source_lang>
                <target_lang>es-ES</target_lang>
            </q>
        </otmsGet>
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Thanks for your help!

I had to create a wrapper:

class My_Soap_Client_Namespace extends Zend_Soap_Client_Common {
    protected $namespace = null;

    function __construct($doRequestCallback, $wsdl, $options) {
            if (array_key_exists('namespace', $options)) {
                $this->namespace = $options['namespace'];
            }
            parent::__construct($doRequestCallback, $wsdl, $options);
    }

    function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = null) {
        if ($this->namespace != null) {
            $request = preg_replace ( '/<ns1:(\w+)/', '<$1 xmlns="' . $this->namespace . '"', $request, 1 );
            $request = preg_replace ( '/<ns1:(\w+)/', '<$1', $request );
            $request = str_replace ( array ('/ns1:', 'xmlns:ns1="' . $this->namespace . '"' ), array ('/', '' ), $request );
        }

        return parent::__doRequest ( $request, $location, $action, $version );
    }
}

Answer 2

I do it like this, but when I call getLastRequest, after calling the remote method, I get the original request without the replacements! How can that happen?

<?php
class Mynamespace_Mymodule_Model_Soap_Client extends SoapClient {

    function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = null) {

    $request = preg_replace('/<(\/)?ns1:(\w+)/', '<$1$2', $request);
     $request = preg_replace('/ xmlns:ns1=\""/', '', $request);

 return parent::__doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way);
    }
}
