Invalid xml and 400 Bad Request

P

Peter Laan

Does anyone know why an ASP.NET web service considers this to be invalid
xml:
<endTime>9999-12-31T23:59:59.9999999</endTime>

while this works:
<endTime>9999-12-31T23:59:59.9999999+01:00</endTime>

this also works:
<endTime>2008-03-21T00:00:00</endTime>

The first example is sent from a 3.5 winform client with DateTime.Max as
endTime. Here's the complete xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Header><CesHeader

The second example is sent from a 1.1 winform client with DateTime.Max as
endTime. Here's the complete xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Header><CesHeader

The third example is sent from a 3.5 winform client with a 'normal' date.
Here's the complete xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Header><CesHeader
xmlns="http://mynta.se/ces/order/LogService"><culture>sv-SE</culture><timeZone>W.

xmlns="http://mynta.se/ces/order/LogService"><type /><category /><channel
/><servicePacket /><status /><companyName
/><accountOwnerId>-1</accountOwnerId><accountOwnerFirstName
/><accountOwnerLastName
/><accountId>-1</accountId><startTime>2008-03-20T00:00:00</startTime><endTime>2008-03-21T00:00:00</endTime><bookingId>-1</bookingId></GetLogEntries></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

The 3.5 client is just the 1.1 client converted to 3.5.

I get either a 400 Bad Request (when compiling the web service under 3.5)
and a 500 internal server error with the message: 'Element' is an invalid
node type. Line 1 position 713 (when compiled under 1.1). Anyone have any
ideas?

AFAIK ASMX uses .NET serialization and DateTime format (serialization
included probably) changed from 1.x to 2.0 (from a CLR perspective). This
may be the cause to the issue you're seeing.

But I get an error even if both the client and web service is running .Net
3.5. It's easy to avoid the problem by sending some other value than
DateTime.MaxValue though. So it's not a big problem, I'm just curious.
