xmlns="" is causing rejection on BIG-IP ASM

Dear sirs, we are facing a rejection by F5-ASM when the below SOAP XML request (received from the client side): http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLS...
application delivery

    Dear sirs, I found the reason behind the rejection.

     

    It was simply because the element is not under namespace ";; and that is why it needs to have an attribute of [xmlns=""] in order to work correctly.

     

    Its parent element (sendOTP) had the attribute of "xmlns=";; thus affecting its child element namespace.

Mountazar,

 

It looks to me that those SOAP request are incomplete, as there are no closing elements for the and elements.

 

Without the entire request it is difficult to determine if the syntax is valid XML.

 

Please repost the entire working an non-working request for comparison, and take care with the formatting (enclose the entire request using the code tag) so it is clear exactly what the SOAP request is.

 

Thanks
