I am not sure if this forum is the right forum for my question but I post anyway to see if anyone can help
me. I have created a very simple bpel using http post; all it does is to copy the input to the output.
The output from my bpel looks like this:
<myContact xmlns="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/XmlPost">
<ns0:LastName xmlns:ns0="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/XmlPost" />
<ns0:FirstName xmlns:ns0="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/XmlPost" />
<ns0:EmailAddress xmlns:ns0="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/XmlPost">
LastName=aa&FirstName=bb&EmailAddress=cc&OfficeAddress=dd</ns0:EmailAddress>
<ns0 fficeAddress xmlns:ns0="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/XmlPost" />
</myContact>

My question is why the EmailAddress element contains all my input data. I should expect the lastname element
has 'aa', the firstname element has 'bb', the emailAddress has 'cc' and the officeAddress has 'dd'.

Can someone please tell me what I do wrong in here.

Thanks,

In your WSDL you specify http:urlEncoded for the input of the operation.
So it is expecting to find the data as part of the query string in the URI, i.e.:


However the browser HTML form will make this type of an HTTP request:


According to the WSDL specification HTTP GET & POST Binding examples you need to specify <mime:content type="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" /> in your input binding:

I tried your way and I got this error:
Error: A <http:binding> element's input requires a <http:urlEncoded> or <http:urlReplacement> element.

BTW, thank you so much for your reply.

So that would mean that your tool really only supports HTTP GET bindings. That with http:urlEncoded and "method=GET" in the form should get you running.

... though as far as I recall BPEL systems usually use SOAP bindings for new components - not HTTP bindings. Non-SOAP bindings tend to be used for connectivity with existing systems.
