PHP Akamai SOAP Exception - php

Question

I am making a SOAP request and it successfully return the function list which you can call.
I am calling PurgeRequest method and receiving following error
Exception: class com.idoox.soap.DemarshallException: Type in schema
differs from type in SOAP message - expected
string#http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema; got
Map#http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"
I tried with SOAP UI and get the successful response id. But, my PHP request is failing..Can some one tell me what this error is about and how to resolve this. one reference say it is because of passing the empty array but I am sure that parameter is not empty.
if(class_exists('SoapClient'))
{
$client = new SoapClient('https://ccuapi.akamai.com/ccuapi.wsdl',
array(
'trace' => 1,
'exceptions' => 0,
'features' => SOAP_USE_XSI_ARRAY_TYPE
)
);
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
try {
$purgeResult = $client->purgeRequest($username,$password,'',$opt,$url);
}
catch(SoapFault $e){
echo "Exception\n";
}
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($purgeResult);
}

It works for me, but I'm not logging in (of course). I get normal SOAP exceptions:
Exception: class com.idoox.soap.DemarshallException: Dimensions not found in array type
when I pass an empty string in $opt, or
object(stdClass)#2 (6) {
["resultCode"]=>
int(301)
["resultMsg"]=>
string(29) "Invalid username or password."
["sessionID"]=>
string(16) "17F1327329982356"
["estTime"]=>
int(-1)
["uriIndex"]=>
int(-1)
["modifiers"]=>
NULL
}
when I pass empty arrays in $opt and $url.
Anyway, your issue seems to be due to different SOAP xsd headers. The service expects http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema header, your script seems to be passing http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap.
Service WSDL defines it:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<definitions name="PurgeRequest"
targetNamespace="http://www.akamai.com/purge"
xmlns:tns="http://www.akamai.com/purge"
xmlns:purgedt="http://www.akamai.com/purge"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
You need to make sure your client respects this and sets it properly.
Please post output of your
var_dump($client->__getLastRequest());
(right after
var_dump($purgeResult);
)
mine 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://www.akamai.com/purge"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:purgeRequest>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">ee</name>
<pwd xsi:type="xsd:string">rr</pwd>
<network xsi:type="xsd:string"/>
<opt SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
<item xsi:type="xsd:string"/>
</opt>
<uri SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
<item xsi:type="xsd:string"/>
</uri>
</ns1:purgeRequest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
see, this request features xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
Also make sure you are using right SOAP version
'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1
and your __doRequest() method in SOAP extension is not overriden to send custom headers, like here.
