Presence of multiref tag in soap response message

Question

We are having a problem when we try to call a web service in PI. The web services called is provided by an Axis server.
We tried to use the plain HTTP protocol in the definition of the communication channel as shown here:
Adapter type: SOAP
Transport protocol: HTTP
Message protocol: SOAP 1.1
Adapter engine: Central Adapter Engine
We got the followong error response in SXMB_MONI:
The payload shown in SXNB_MONI is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- XML Validation Inbound Channel Response -->
<ns1:cedstr_obt_cle_elem_v2_Response xmlns:ns1='urn:CEDSTR' soapenv:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' 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'>
<tab_cle soapenc:arrayType='ns1:cedstr_cle_elem_v1[3]' xmlns:soapenc='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xsi:type='soapenc:Array'>
<item href='#id0'/>
<item href='#id1'/>
<item href='#id2'/>
</tab_cle><nb_cle xsi:type='xsd:int'>3</nb_cle><stat_elem href='#id3'/>
<cdr href='#id4'/>
</ns1:cedstr_obt_cle_elem_v2_Response>
The expected payload is:

What I can see is that PI seems to ignore the multiref tag in the SOAP response message. Does anybody knows if there is an issue with the mutiref tag in PI ?
Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

The SOAP adapter does not support more than one body child.
If a SOAP message with several body childs arrive, then only the first body child is considered, all other body childs are ignored.
