XML/C++ type binding goes wrong

Question

I have a WSDL file which I need to generate a c++ web service code from it. The toolchain I'm using is gSOAP.

The problem is that the generated server class, have a function for each operation with parameters as char* instead of something like ns2__something structs. How can I force gSOAP to generate XML/C or XML/C++ binding (according to my understanding of gSOAP documentation it should do so [?])

WSDL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions name="swus"
 targetNamespace="swus.wsdl"
 xmlns:tns="swus.wsdl"
 xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

wsdl2h -c++11 -g -a -w -y -oSWUS.h ../docs/service.wsdl
soapcpp2 -2 -S -a -A -t -c++11 -b -i ./SWUS.h

Generated code snippet:

class SOAP_CMAC swusService : public soap {
  public: 
    /* blah blah blah... */
    /// Web service operation 'add' (returns SOAP_OK or error code)
    virtual int add(char *wsdl__addRequestElement, // =====>> Why?
                    char *wsdl__addResponseElement // =====>> Why?

Answer 1

The WSDL file is mixing two namespaces (tns and swus).

Add swus: to the request and response element types:

<message name="addRequest">
 <part name="parameters" element="swus:addRequestElement"/>
</message>

<message name="addResponse">
 <part name="result" element="swus:addResponseElement"/>
</message>

gSOAP should match now the correct types:

virtual int add(
  _ns2__addRequestElement *ns2__addRequestElement,
  _ns2__addResponseElement &ns2__addResponseElement
) SOAP_PURE_VIRTUAL;
