How do I force a namespace prefix on an attibute in a SOAP request created using suds

I am using python suds (version: 0.3.9 GA build: R659-20100219) to interact with a SOAP service with the following structure:

Service ( DPWSService ) tns="http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/"
Prefixes (1)
ns0 = "http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/"
Ports (1):
(DPWSPort)
Methods (13):
addTimer(request request, )
deleteProvider(request request, )
deleteTimer(request request, )
doHarvest(request request, )
doIngest(request request, )
doNewUpdateProvider(request request, )
getHarvestHistory(GetHistoryRequest request, )
getIngestHistory(GetHistoryRequest request, )
getList(GetListType request, )
getListNames()
getProviderDetails(request request, )
getProviderStatistic(request request, )
getStatusProcess(request request, )
Types (63):

I need to send a SOAP request with a structure like below:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://
ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<ns0:Body>
<ns1:doIngest>
<request>
<ns1:ProcessID ns1:id="1430"/>
<ns1:EmailReportID>1031</ns1:EmailReportID>
</request>
</ns1:doIngest>
</ns0:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

That is, I need to append the target namespace in front of the id attribute. If I don't the request fails :(

I have tried several ways to create my doIngest request object, but I can only create a request like below:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<ns0:Body>
<ns1:doIngest>
<request>
<ns1:ProcessID id="1441"/>
<ns1:EmailReportID>1031</ns1:EmailReportID>
</request>
</ns1:doIngest>
</ns0:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

That is, without the target namespace prefix on the id attribute.

I have tried variants of:

request = wsClient.factory.create('doIngest.request')
request.EmailReportID = "1031"
request.ProcessID = wsClient.factory.create('ProcessIDType')
request.ProcessID._id= "1430"
result=wsClient.service.doIngest(request)

and:

request = wsClient.factory.create('{http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/}doIngest.request')
request.EmailReportID = "1031"
request.ProcessID = wsClient.factory.create('{http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/}ProcessIDType')
request.ProcessID._id="1430"
result=wsClient.service.doIngest(request)

and:

request = wsClient.factory.create('doIngest.request')
request.EmailReportID = emailIDs
request.ProcessID = wsClient.factory.create('ProcessIDType')
request.ProcessID._id = wsClient.factory.resolver.qualify('{http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/}_id')
request.ProcessID._id=procID
result=wsClient.service.doIngest(request)

but I get the same SOAP request

The WSDL tells me:

<xs:complexType name="doIngest">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element form="unqualified" minOccurs="0" name="request">
            <xs:complexType>
                <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ProcessID" type="tns:ProcessIDType"/>
                    <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="EmailReportID" type="xs:int"/>
                </xs:sequence>
            </xs:complexType>
        </xs:eleme开发者_如何学Gont>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

and

<xs:complexType name="ProcessIDType">
    <xs:sequence/>
    <xs:attribute ref="tns:id" use="required"/>
    <xs:attribute ref="tns:status"/>
</xs:complexType>

which shows that the id does want the namespace prefix.

The question is therefore, how do I force the namespace prefix onto my id attibute?

Thanks to Gandi

Solution was therefore:

Update Suds to 0.4 (as MessagePlugin was not available in version: 0.3.9)

then:

class MyPlugin(MessagePlugin):
    def marshalled(self, context):
        ProcIDnode = context.envelope.getChild('Body').getChild('doIngest').getChild('request')[0]
        #Get the value of the id attribute  
        ProcIDattVal = ProcIDnode.get('id')
        #Remove the errant id, used as a tidy-up stage
        ProcIDnode.unset('id')
        #Get the namespace prefix for the target namespace 
        ProcIDnspref = ProcIDnode.findPrefix('http://ejb.revitalization.services.ndg/')
        #Create the new attribute name with namespace prefix applied
        newProcIDattname = ProcIDnspref + ':id'
        #Insert the new attribute.
        ProcIDnode.set(newProcIDattname,ProcIDattVal)

What you're looking for is in suds documentation and is called a MessagePlugin. The marshalled option allows you to change you're message before being sent. You need to add it into your client as a plugin:

self.client = Client(url, plugins=[MyPlugin()])

In marshalled method search for context.envelope childs. The python's vars() function is very useful in this place. As I think, It should like something like this for you:

from suds.plugin import MessagePlugin
class MyPlugin(MessagePlugin):
    def marshalled(self, context):
        foo = context.envelope.getChild('Body').getChild...getChild(and so on)[0]
        foo.nsprefix = # or something like this

For this "something like this part" you need to debug your request (I recomend client and transport debug) and look for a vars of your entity. I just don't remember how it's called.

I was sitting at this for last week, so might it'll save some time for you :) Write when you'll have any questions, I'll try to be more specific there.

Not sure about the best solution but I came across similar issues while talking to Sharepoint through my haufe.sharepoint module (on PyPI). I ended up monkey-patching the send() of suds in order to modify the namespaces according to my needs. You may check the code in the patches.py file of the module.
