Solution:

Using zeep, I can't parse the ONVIF devicemgmt.wsdl file:

python -m zeep http://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

zeep.exceptions.XMLParseError: References from this schema ('http://www.onvif.org/ver10/schema') to components in the namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' are not allowed, since not indicated by an import statement.

I'm pretty sure the ONVIF spec uses valid WSDL/XML.

Hello

Is it possible to get the results as python types like dict and list instead of zeep.objects ? Or is there an easy way to transform them?

Thanks

I'm having problems formatting a request that contains an array of input messages... when the renderer hits an array it doesn't add each element of the array to the soap message - and it throws an exception because the sub_value is None... getattr() returns None because it's looking for the element name - but the value is an array. I'm working with the types and elements source trying to debug it - not sure if it's a problem with the code or with the way I'm building the request message.

Exception:

<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>, TypeError("'NoneType' object is not iterable",), None

At: elements.py:

   def render(self, parent, value):
          for val in value:
            node = etree.SubElement(parent, self.qname)
            self.type.render(node, val)

Code I'm using to populate the soap request:

        api_client = Client(api_address_setting.setting_value + 'GetEntityWebService.asmx?WSDL')
        search_parameter_type = api_client.get_type('ns1:EntitySearchParameter')
        search_parameter = search_parameter_type()
        search_parameter.FieldName = 'Id'
        search_parameter.FieldValue = '0'
        search_parameter.Operator = 'GreaterThan'
        entity_search_clause_type = api_client.get_type('ns1:EntitySearchClause')
        entity_search_clause = entity_search_clause_type()
        entity_search_clause.Operator = 'And'
        entity_search_clause.SearchParameters = []
        entity_search_clause.SearchParameters.append(search_parameter)
        entity_request_type = api_client.get_type('ns1:EntityRequest')
        entity_request = entity_request_type()
        entity_request.EntityType = 'Staff'
        entity_request.EntitySearchClauses = [];
        entity_request.EntitySearchClauses.append(entity_search_clause)
        entity_request.RequestId = 0
        entity_msg_type = api_client.get_type('ns1:GetEntityInMsg')
        entity_msg = entity_msg_type()
        entity_msg.CorrelationId = -1
        entity_msg.CustomAttributes = []
        entity_msg.Entity = entity_request
        entity_msg.MessageId = -1
        entity_msg.RowCount = 0
        entity_msg.SkipSemanticValidation = False
        staff_req_type = api_client.get_type('ns1:GetEntityRequest')
        staff_req = staff_req_type()
        staff_req.TokenId = tokenId
        staff_req.Entities = []
        staff_req.Entities.append(entity_msg)
        staff_result = api_client.service.GetEntity(staff_req)

Sample soap message that works (from a .net client):

<GetEntityRequest xmlns="http://www.companyname.com/Soa/Foundation/MessageDefinition.xsd">
  <TokenId>2KVFvpE... etc...</TokenId>
  <Entities>
    <GetEntityInMsg>
      <Entity>
        <RequestId>0</RequestId>
        <EntityType>Staff</EntityType>
        <EntitySearchClauses>
          <SearchParameters>
            <FieldName>Id</FieldName>
            <FieldValue>0</FieldValue>
            <Operator>GreaterThan</Operator>
          </SearchParameters>
          <Operator>And</Operator>
        </EntitySearchClauses>
      </Entity>
    </GetEntityInMsg>
    <GetEntityInMsg>
      <Entity>
        <RequestId>1</RequestId>
        <EntityType>Campus</EntityType>
        <EntitySearchClauses>
          <SearchParameters>
            <FieldName>Id</FieldName>
            <FieldValue>0</FieldValue>
            <Operator>GreaterThan</Operator>
          </SearchParameters>
          <Operator>And</Operator>
        </EntitySearchClauses>
      </Entity>
    </GetEntityInMsg>
  </Entities>
</GetEntityRequest>

Thank you for this much needed library.

The issue I am finding is that Zeep is sending all the tags available for a specific method. The server will throw an exception unless certain tags are removed. I dig into the documentation and unable to know how or if this is possible with Zeep

Zeep version 0.24

WSDL

https://gist.github.com/isidrov/24b73e5a8499f02d92c6f566148f3375

Example script

https://gist.github.com/isidrov/408ee6ba3914432287a0f235bdf50691

What I am actually sending with current script

https://gist.github.com/isidrov/047dace78d9e83ba337f602cf31b567f

**What I need to send to make it work (confirmed by SOAPUI) **

https://gist.github.com/isidrov/fd47320ac5312c707600db83d055b938

Let me know if anything else is needed.

Thanks!

Looks like there's an issue with nillable elements where objects that are None get converted to '' which then throws an error when being serialized. Given a message with either of these elements:

<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="LongId" nillable="true" type="s:long"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="DateOfBirth" nillable="true" type="s:dateTime"/>

An error will be thrown as follows:

zeep.exceptions.Fault: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to read request. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (1, 954). ---> System.FormatException: The string '' is not a valid AllXsd value.
   at System.Xml.Schema.XsdDateTime..ctor(String text, XsdDateTimeFlags kinds)
   at System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToDateTime(String s, XmlDateTimeSerializationMode dateTimeOption)
   at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.XmlSerializationReader1.Read10_NullableOfDateTime(Boolean checkType)

I have not dug deeply into the issue but I would assume the same is the case for all types, not just those two.

I am trying to get a WSDL file from a 3rd party company to work. During parsing zeep fails to properly map some messages and therefore some operations (See details below). From what I can gather is that the main problem seems to be that the xsd:element for Add has no targetNamespace and when resolving zeep prefixes with the targetNamespace of wsdl:definitions: https://github.com/mvantellingen/python-zeep/blob/c39197853e681fea773d5f6265b5971cfdf879d7/src/zeep/wsdl/parse.py#L36-L43

I am not sure if this is a bug in zeep or the WSDL, I can neither find a definitive answer in the XML Schema specs, nor in the WSDL ones. What I was able to find is from ws-i (http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1.html#Schema_targetNamespace_Structure):

 R2105 All xsd:schema elements contained in a wsdl:types element of a DESCRIPTION MUST have a targetNamespace attribute with a valid and non-null value, UNLESS the xsd:schema element has xsd:import and/or xsd:annotation as its only child element(s). 

But I do not know if the targetNamespace from the wsdl:definitions should get inherited. I'll happily try to code a patch in zeep if you think this is a bug in zeep.

Hello!

I am currently trying to generate the proper XML format for a specific "Any Type" element within my requests using Zeep.

The WSDL of this element is:

<xs:complexType name="Property">
  <xs:attribute name="Name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Value" type="xs:anyType"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

I have verified that the proper working format (in the case where the value is a string) for the resulting XML is something like:

<Property Name="details">
    <Value xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">Some Text</Value>
</Property>

I am however unable to ensure the xmlsn:xs and xsi:type attributes are present in the XML contents that Zeep generates.

With many attempts, the closest I've been able to get was:

<Property Name="details">
    <Value>Some Text</Value>
</Property>

I've been playing around with AnyObject, ComplexType, AnyType and other elements of the Zeep library without success.

I am basically looking for pointers on how to properly add those two missing attributes to my Value element and how to properly add the "xsi" namespace to the SOAP envelope.

Zeep version: 0.18.1, installed via pip

Thank you.

I'm having an issue when using zeep-python, the envelope sent has a bunch of ns0 added as namespacing.

I tried using the etree.register_namespace() method but it doesn't seems to apply it to the envelope.

I'm using fiddler to debug, so here's what doesn't work, and what's working :

Not working:

`

<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://www.myurl.com/Integration/" xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> soap-env:Body ns0:GetList <ns0:entity xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ns0:Employee"> <ns0:ID xsi:nil="true"/> ns0:Deletefalse </ns0:entity> ns0:returnFullEntitiesfalse</ns0:returnFullEntities> </ns0:GetList> </soap-env:Body> </soap-env:Envelope> `

Working :

`

<soap-env:Envelope xmlns="http://www.myurl.com/Integration/" xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> soap-env:Body false false </soap-env:Body> </soap-env:Envelope> `

My python code

` from zeep import Client from zeep.transports import Transport from lxml import etree from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree

transport = Transport(verify=False) wsdl = 'https://my.urlcom/Integration/?WSDL' #Private wsdl client = Client(wsdl, transport=transport) etree.register_namespace("", "http://www.myurl.com/Integration/") client.service.Login('username', 'password', 'schema', 'smtn', 'EN-US') #need to login (works with the ns0 added)

DepartmentCls = client.get_type('ns0:Department') department = DepartmentCls() department["Delete"] = False resDepartments = client.service.GetList(department, False) #crashes `

Here's the output :

zeep.exceptions.Fault: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.AddListField(XmlDocument document, String entityType, FieldNode field, XmlNode fieldElementValue, XmlAttribute typeAttribute, XmlElement fieldElement) at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.AddFields(XmlDocument document, XmlNode entity, IEnumerable1 fields, String entityType) at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.TransformEntityNode(XmlDocument document, XmlNode entity, String parent, String fieldName, String type) at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.TransformInputMessage(XmlDocument document) at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.TransformInputMessage(XmlReader input, XmlWriter output, String oldNamespace, String newNamespace) at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.TransformSoapMessage(XmlReader input, XmlWriter output, String oldNamespace, String newNamespace, Action4 transformer) at PX.Api.ContractBased.Soap.EntityTransformExtension.ProcessMessage(SoapMessage message) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessage.RunExtensions(SoapExtension[] extensions, Boolean throwOnException) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.ReadParameters() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandler.CoreProcessRequest() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- Process finished with exit code 1

Any help would be appreciated

1. The version of zeep (or if you are running master the commit hash/date)

    In [67]: zeep.__version__
    Out[75]: 
    '0.25.0'

2. The WSDL you are using

System.wsdl found in

https://support.travelport.com/webhelp/uapi/Content/Resources/uAPI_WSDLschema_Release-V16.4.0.17.zip

3. An example script

This issue is maybe somewhat releated to #145. However the former issue has already been closed so I hope you don't mind if I open a new one.

I have currently the problem that arrays/sequences are sent empty to the server:

WSDL (partly):

Python Debug (generation of objects seems to be successfull):

print(repr(objects))
#==>

I was using ChatGPT to check a possibility using the Zeep library... And then I received the following responses:

I couldn't find anything about the real existence of this method... Did it really exist or does it exist?

DeprecationWarning: 'cgi' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13

cgi is used here: https://github.com/mvantellingen/python-zeep/blob/4e5ebad9eb355281cf3ae73cf83f666dc4b8bb00/src/zeep/utils.py#L91-L94

As a replacement of parse_header function PEP 594 suggests to use email.message.Message.

Fix #975

Description

When using the WSA plugin, the header's field MessageID is created as follows:

<MessageID>urn:uuid:cb4dd644-d178-433d-9ec5-799e13407867</MessageID>

Some endpoints require the urn: prefix to be absent:

<MessageID>uuid:cb4dd644-d178-433d-9ec5-799e13407867</MessageID>

This PR allows you to specify the prefix you want with the WSA plugin. For instance, this fixes the author's problem in issue #975:

client = Client(
'http://examples.python-zeep.org/basic.wsdl',
    plugins=[WsAddressingPlugin(message_id_prefix="uuid:")])

An exception will be thrown if a bool is returned from a SOAP service call. deserialize soap.py will ask for the length of the result body, but it may not be allowed to take len on some result body types. Added check if length is valid and returns the body directly if it is not. I haven't tested with any other types, such as integers.

Hello all,

I am using zeep 4.2.0, with WSDL v1.1.

I am attempting to implement ONVIF via zeep, but i am seeing many issues in the responses, they are either incomplete, incorrectly parsed or simply fail to work.

Quick and easy examples to reproduce failure cases.

python3.7 -m zeep https://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl python3.7 -m zeep https://www.onvif.org/ver10/events/wsdl/event.wsdl python3.7 -m zeep https://www.onvif.org/ver20/media/wsdl/media.wsdl

Is there something wrong with ONVIF WSDL ? Am i doing something wrong ? or can zeep only handle very simply WSDL docs ???

In my testing, suds works without issue, so zeep should be able to handle ONVIF aswell.
