Symptoms

BPEL Process is trying to call a third party webservice. The invoke appears
to be removing the namespace prefix from the call and then adding another
namespace with no prefix. The web service rejects the call because of this.

<testUpdateRequest xmlns= class=<class>"
href=ttp://xml.abccompany.xyz.com">"http://xml.abccompany.xyz.com">
<username>user
</username>
<password>pass
</password>
</testUpdateRequest>

If we do a transform, it adds a prefix but not on the testUpdate element.

<testUpdateRequest xmlns:br= class=<class>"
href=ttp://xml.abccompany.xyz.com">"http://xml.abccompany.xyz.com" xmlns=
class=<class>"
href=ttp://xml.abccompany.xyz.com">"http://xml.abccompany.xyz.com">
<br:username>user
</br:username>
<br:password>pass
</br:password>
</testUpdateRequest>

We observe this version of the invoke successful with ESB or other tools.

<br:testUpdateRequest xmlns:br= class=<class>"
href=http://xml.abccompany.xyz.com">"http://xml.abccompany.xyz.com" >
<br:username>user
</br:username>
<br:password>pass
</br:password>
</br:testUpdateRequest>
