    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.

Dear S, 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.

 

Thank you anyway for your willing to help.

 

Kind regards, Mountazar
