SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Unknown required WSDL extension 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy' in PHP SoapClient while calling SAP PI

Question

I'm trying to implement a Web Service running on an SAP PI system. The WSDL I got looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        </wsdl:port>
    </wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>

My PHP file looks like this (nothing more in it currently):

<?php 
$client = new SoapClient('test.wsdl');
?> 

When I'm running my script, I get the following error thrown:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Unknown required WSDL extension 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy' in /srv/www/htdocs/wsdl.php:2 Stack trace: #0 /srv/www/htdocs/wsdl.php(2): SoapClient->SoapClient('test.wsdl') #1 {main} thrown in /srv/www/htdocs/wsdl.php on line 2

I tried searching for the error on google and StackOverflow, and also checked the comments on php.net, but I can't seem to figure out what I'd have to change in order to get this Service running. I also tried to open the WSDL extension URL, it seems to exist.

Can someone throw me a bone here? I tried removing the extension URL, that results in the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Unexpected WSDL element <UsingPolicy> in /srv/www/htdocs/wsdl.php:2 Stack trace: #0 /srv/www/htdocs/wsdl.php(2): SoapClient->SoapClient('test.wsdl') #1 {main} thrown in /srv/www/htdocs/wsdl.php on line 2

Answer 1

The only solution I can think of at this point is to update your UsingPolicy tag:

Change the tag:

<wsp:UsingPolicy wsdl:required="true"/> 

to this:

<wsp:UsingPolicy wsdl:required="false"/>
