A WSDL requires input for processing

Although I have the WSDL successfully loaded into SoapUI, but the structure was incorrect. Following is the SOAP request message generated by default when the WSDL first loaded into SoapUI:

<soap:envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
   <soap:header/>
   <soap:body>
</soap:Envelope>

I'll get an error message says line -1: null when I validate on this request message. To fix this error, I must have at least one element in the body tag. Here is the new WSDL code for the input:

...

<wsdl:types>
  <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://helloWorld.huahsin.org/">
    <xsd:element name="Input"/>
  </xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>

< wsdl:message name="HelloWorldRequest">
  < wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:Input"/>
< /wsdl:message>
...

Now the SOAP request message will look like this:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:hel="http://helloWorld.huahsin.org/">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <hel:Input>?</hel:Input>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

In the real world, it is impossible to have this empty SOAP request message, some input would require to pass in for processing. For the sake of this experiment, I would need a name and an age field. The name field is a mandatory field, whereas age field is optional.

...

<wsdl:types>
  <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://helloWorld.huahsin.org/">
    <xsd:element name="Input">
      <xsd:complexType>
        <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1"/>
          <xsd:element name="age" type="xsd:integer" minOccurs="0"/>
        </xsd:sequence>
      </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
  </xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>

With this new WSDL design, the SOAP message now will be much better and complete:

< soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:hel="http://helloWorld.huahsin.org/">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <hel:Input>
         <name>?</name>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <age>?</age>
      </hel:Input>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Boost Log can't live without thread library

In one of my experiment project, I have the Boost Log configure in QT's build path, see below:

...

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_log_setup-mgw53-mt-1_61
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_log_setup-mgw53-mt-d-1_61
else:unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_log_setup

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_log-mgw53-mt-1_61
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_log-mgw53-mt-d-1_61
else:unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_log

...

End up when I try to compile this program, I get these bunch of undefined error on boost::detail::set_tss_data() in my console output window:

As of my finding from the forum, they mention that it requires to compile with -pthread option. Unfortunately, that solution is only applicable to Linux. Since I'm using Boost, the only option I have is to link the Boost Thread library:

...

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_thread-mgw53-mt-1_61
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_thread-mgw53-mt-d-1_61
else:unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../tool/boost_1_61_0/stage/lib/ -lboost_thread

...

And the compilation proceeds successfully.

Illegal extension attribute 'soapAction'

I got it up!! Finally, I got my first dummy WSDL, first created with notepad, load into SoapUI. Since there is no tool could allow me to do it in easy way, I have to verify the syntax with my own eyes.

On my first try, I got this stupid error when I first load into SoapUI. The cause of the error happened in wsdl:operation and soapAction is an illegal attribute? Ehrrr~ What is that means?

WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:binding/wsdl:operation): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered illegal extension attribute 'soapAction'. Extension attributes must be in a namespace other than WSDL's.    

I take a closer look into my first baby, then only I notice that I have mistakenly mess up the wsdl:operation with soapAction. This is something bad without a good tool to gauge my work.

<wsdl:binding name="HelloWorldSOAP12" type="tns:HelloWorldPort">
  <soap12:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
  <wsdl:operation name="HelloWorld" soapAction="http://helloWorld.huahsin68.org/helloWorld"/>
  <wsdl:input>
    <soap12:body use="literal"/>
  <wsdl:output>
    <soap12:body use="literal"/>
  </wsdl:output>
</wsdl:binding>

The fix is as follows:

<wsdl:binding name="HelloWorldSOAP12" type="tns:HelloWorldPort">
  <soap12:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
  <wsdl:operation name="HelloWorld">
    <soap12:operation soapAction="HelloWorldAction"/>
    <wsdl:input>
      <soap12:body use="literal"/>
    </wsdl:input>
    <wsdl:output>
      <soap12:body use="literal"/>
    </wsdl:output>
  </wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>
