How to construct a Soap Envelope manually using TXMLDocument (Delphi 2006)

I've been having this problem for a long time now and I cannot solve it my se开发者_如何学运维lf. I've tried searching Google, Bing and stackOverflow too? No luck...

I'm trying to construct a soap header manually using the TXMLDocument component of Delphi 2006:

... ... ... ... ... ...

What I'm doing is that I'm constructing a new Element called 'soap:Envelope'. In this new element I'm creating three attribtues called: 'xmlns:soap', 'xmlns:xsd' and 'xmlns:xsi'.

When I'm trying to write a value in any of the three attributes then I'm getting the error below:

Attempt to modify a read-only node.

Does any one know how to do this task using the TXMLDocument?

The following code works fine here:

procedure WriteSoapFile;
var
  Document: IXMLDocument;
  Envelope: IXMLNode;
  Body: IXMLNode;
begin
  Document := NewXMLDocument;
  Envelope := Document.AddChild('soap:Envelope');
  Envelope.Attributes['xmlns:soap'] := 'schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
  Envelope.Attributes['xmlns:xsd']  := 'w3.org/2001/XMLSchema';
  Envelope.Attributes['xmlns:xsi']  := 'w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance';
  Body := Envelope.AddChild('soap:Body');
  Document.SaveToFile('Test.xml');
end;

You should be able to use TXMLDocument instead of IXMLDocument, it is just a component wrapper around the interface.

Here is my solution, it uses DeclareNamespace to declare namespaces:

procedure WriteSoapFile;
const
  NS_SOAP = 'schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
var
  Document: IXMLDocument;
  Envelope: IXMLNode;
  Body: IXMLNode;
begin
  Document := NewXMLDocument;
  Envelope := Document.CreateElement('soap:Envelope', NS_SOAP);
  Envelope.DeclareNamespace('soap', NS_SOAP);
  Envelope.DeclareNamespace('xsd', 'w3.org/2001/XMLSchema');
  Envelope.DeclareNamespace('xsi', 'w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance');
  Body := Envelope.AddChild('Body');
  Document.DocumentElement := Envelope;
  Document.SaveToFile('Test.xml');
end;
