Create a new space or folder via web services

[mwaldrop]

I'm trying to create a new folder  using a SOAP based interaction.   I'm assuming the right approach is to use the CREATE statement from the RepositoryService wsdl.  I've tried a few different combinations of arguments to this method and keep getting a:

"org.alfresco.service.namespace.InvalidQNameException: Argument qname is mandatory"

error when I try to construct the SOAP message directly from soapUI.  I'm not sure which argument is not being specified.  This is the SOAP message I'm constructing:

Any thoughts ?

To help troubleshoot this issue, I'd suggest running the Web Services client example code (the "SDK WebServiceSamples" Eclipse project available in the Alfresco SVN repository) and configure an HTTP proxy (such as TCPMon - https://tcpmon.dev.java.net/) to sit between the client and the server.  This will allow you to capture some functioning SOAP messages which can be compared against the hand-crafted messages.

hi,

  Try to download Alfresco webservice-client  and Run it's Test Class   for nodeservice and contentservice you will get sample to create space using
webservice.
