Trying to use content-service.wsdl

[slax]

Hello all,

I am trying to use content-service.wsdl to read and write content in Alfresco using the webservice API. I got all the authentication process and security understood, but now I keep getting the following error :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

This is when trying to use the "read" operation with the following message :

Does anybody knows what I'm doing wrong ? What does "Argument qname is mandatory" mean ? Which argument is it talking about ? Many thanks in advance.

Update :

I haven't understood yet (I'd still like an answer, if anyone has it), but I managed to work around it. All I needed to do was put something in the "property" element (anything, any string, even one blank space works)…

Can anybody explain this ? The reponse message is this :

You need to declare the type of node you are retrieving:

<S:Body>
   <ns2:read xmlns:ns2="http://www.alfresco.org/ws/service/content/1.0" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/ws/model/content/1.0">
      <ns2:items>
         <nodes>
            <store>
               <scheme>workspace</scheme>
               <address>SpacesStore</address>
            </store>
            <uuid>9b728599-a0ed-11dd-b25e-77b9100b65ec</uuid>
         </nodes>
      </ns2:items>
      <ns2:property>{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content</ns2:property>
   </ns2:read>
</S:Body>
