Posted on by Chris8 14

Hi Folks,

i am using Dynamics AX 2012 R3, and i built a simple data contract class for service with http adapter.

i am using "Postman" to send soap (with sample of xml data contract) request to service.

Every thing work correctly, i receive 200 http code, but when i change order of elements in xml, a few data member attributes receive empty values.

I suspect the right correct of order are alphabetical order.

That bugs of aif xml parser?. Order of elements should not be important in xml.

i hope that i was detailed explain my trouble

    The order of the elements in the XML file is meaningful, you can see this in the AIF endpoint schema. Why do you feel it should not be meaningful? I would say that in most XML use cases the schema dictates the order of the elements.

    Every changes in data contract (add new data member) will require a modification in the request sent.

    this situation destroy of api context. Is there any option to turn off dictates of order of elements?
