Error description

• When the client implements an inbound web service with a list
  type in the response for the service, the generated SOAP

  *                      In the example, the service1Response    *

  *                      message should use the namespace for    *

  When a client uses an inbound web service in Process Designer,
  the SOAP response that is generated by the web service uses an
  incorrect namespace for the element.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available that resolves this namespace issue by
  registering the message and the element ¢â‚¬â„¢s first layer to
  generate the SOAP response.
