getting "The request xml was invalid."

[Michael Allman]

Hi,

I'm getting a "The request xml was invalid." message back from the
ReportService when I send a validateReportJob request. My SOAP
request looks like

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header>
<developerToken>XXXX</developerToken>
<useragent>Baltimore Media Group</useragent>
<password>XXXXX</password>
<email>bmg.m...@gmail.com</email>
<clientEmail>tomm...@gmail.com</clientEmail>
</env:Header>
<env:Body>
<ns1:validateReportJob xmlns:ns1="https://adwords.google.com/api/
adwords/v13">
<ns1:job ns2:type="DefinedReportJob" xmlns:ns2="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ns1:selectedReportType>Campaign</ns1:selectedReportType>
<ns1:name>Dashboard Campaign Report</ns1:name>
<ns1:aggregationTypes>Summary</ns1:aggregationTypes>
<ns1:startDay>2010-05-01</ns1:startDay>
<ns1:endDay>2010-05-31</ns1:endDay>
<ns1:campaignStatuses>Active</ns1:campaignStatuses>
<ns1:campaignStatuses>Paused</ns1:campaignStatuses>
<ns1:selectedColumns>Campaign</ns1:selectedColumns>
<ns1:selectedColumns>CampaignId</ns1:selectedColumns>
<ns1:selectedColumns>DailyBudget</ns1:selectedColumns>
<ns1:selectedColumns>Cost</ns1:selectedColumns>
<ns1:selectedColumns>Impressions</ns1:selectedColumns>
<ns1:selectedColumns>Clicks</ns1:selectedColumns>
</ns1:job>
</ns1:validateReportJob>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

Funny thing is, if I change the "https://adwords.google.com/api/
adwords/v13" namespace prefix from "ns1" to "", the request works.
That is

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header>
<developerToken>XXXX</developerToken>
<useragent>Baltimore Media Group</useragent>
<password>XXXXX</password>
<email>bmg.m...@gmail.com</email>
<clientEmail>tomm...@gmail.com</clientEmail>
</env:Header>
<env:Body>
<validateReportJob xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/
v13">
<job ns2:type="DefinedReportJob" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/
2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<selectedReportType>Campaign</selectedReportType>
<name>Dashboard Campaign Report</name>
<aggregationTypes>Summary</aggregationTypes>
<startDay>2010-05-01</startDay>
<endDay>2010-05-31</endDay>
<campaignStatuses>Active</campaignStatuses>
<campaignStatuses>Paused</campaignStatuses>
<selectedColumns>Campaign</selectedColumns>
<selectedColumns>CampaignId</selectedColumns>
<selectedColumns>DailyBudget</selectedColumns>
<selectedColumns>Cost</selectedColumns>
<selectedColumns>Impressions</selectedColumns>
<selectedColumns>Clicks</selectedColumns>
</job>
</validateReportJob>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

works. What am I missing?

Thanks a bunch!

Michael

I should clarify that this is a real road block for me. These
namespace prefixes are assigned automatically by my XML serializer. I
don't have control over their selection. Can someone please help?
This looks like a bug in the report service. How do I file?

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael,

The problem with your request is that the xsi:type of the job doesn't
have the appropriate prefix:

<ns1:job ns2:type="DefinedReportJob" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/
2001/XMLSchema-instance">

When ns1 is used for the v13 namespace you need to ensure that this
prefix is used for the xsi:type as well:

<ns1:job ns2:type="ns1:DefinedReportJob" xmlns:ns2="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Best,

Ahhhh... thank you very much, Eric. Apparently my XML parser/
serializer is not schema-aware. Damn. Well, this should be a lot
easier to fix.

Cheers,

Michael
