Hello all,

I am trying to use content-service.wsdl to read and write content in Alfresco using the webservice API. I got all the authentication process and security understood, but now I keep getting the following error :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

This is when trying to use the "read" operation with the following message :

Does anybody knows what I'm doing wrong ? What does "Argument qname is mandatory" mean ? Which argument is it talking about ? Many thanks in advance.

Update :

I haven't understood yet (I'd still like an answer, if anyone has it), but I managed to work around it. All I needed to do was put something in the "property" element (anything, any string, even one blank space works)…

Can anybody explain this ? The reponse message is this :
