Calling RPC/Encoded WebService

Question

Hi Experts,
is there a possibility to call an RPC/encoded webservice?
We have configured the SOAP adapter but it only sends Document/literal SOAP messages.
XI creates the following message:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <SOAP-ENV:Body>        
        <ns0:SoapIn xmlns:ns0="urn:test">
                <userName>user</userName>
                <password>pass</password>
        </ns0:SoapIn>
        </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
What we need is:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <SOAP-ENV:Body>        
        <ns0:SoapIn xmlns:ns0="urn:test">
                <userName <b>xsi:type="xsd:string"</b>>user</userName>
                <password  <b>xsi:type="xsd:string"</b>>pass</password>
        </ns0:SoapIn>
        </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks for your help,
Holger

Hi,
I have for some occasions when I have had a need for "non-standard" SOAP messages used the Plain HTTP adapter and an additional XSLT mapping to create the necessary SOAP tags. Ex. I have used this for adding SOAP-Header tags etc, but I guess you might try this for your needs also. I just created the extra XSLT mapping which takes care of the SOAP wrapping and place that as a second mapping step in the interface mapping.
