DI Server Schema discrepancies?

Question

Hi,
I am busy implementing some web service for DI server on SBO 2007A PL47, specifically for updateobject. The idea is to develop a generic class that will take any business object data, apply the schema for that object and perform the update.This works fine on servicalls for example. The following response however happens on updating a quote:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <env:Body>
    <env:Fault>
      <env:Code>
        <env:Value>env:Receiver</env:Value>
        <env:Subcode>
          <env:Value>-5002</env:Value>
        </env:Subcode>
      </env:Code>
      <env:Reason>
        <env:Text xml:lang="en">Item no. is missing  [QUT1.ItemCode][line: 1]</env:Text>
      </env:Reason>
      <env:Detail>
        <Object>23</Object>
        <ObjectIndex>1</ObjectIndex>
        <Command>UpdateObject</Command>
        <SessionID>0AA94C25-0784-4B6B-9A4E-468FD4AD6391</SessionID>
      </env:Detail>
    </env:Fault>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
One would think the item code is not specified but it is as seen below:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <env:Header>
    <SessionID>0AA94C25-0784-4B6B-9A4E-468FD4AD6391</SessionID>

As a test I used standard DI Api to get the source xml for the same quote from a quote business object and submitted this xml to di server and it works fine (using savexml and set to  xet_ExportImportMode on DI API).
I have noticed that the xml generated from DI API using above method have a lot less fields than specified in the schema for the oQuotations object.
Since I normally use GetByKey() (which returns all fields) to retrieve the xml data from DI Server I rely heavily on these schemas to strip out unwanted fields before submitting the xml back to DI Server.
Note that I did not change the xml data in any way before submitting it back to the di server...
It seems to me that the schema specifies fields which SBO has a problem with,if so why is the error message returned so .. wrong ..?
PS: The 'code' tags don't work or am I doing it wrong .. ?

Answer 1

It ate my xml! Can anyone tell me how I can get the xml snippets to display correctly? It doesn't make much sense otherwise ..
