Ok, I've trying somthing with your tips and now I'am very close to the solution:

I found out, that i need 2 namespaces (one to recieve and one to send)

So i do following changes:

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://ws.chathura.com";
private static final String NAMESPACE2 = "http://ws.chathura.com/xsd";

and this:

SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
...
...
envelope.addMapping(NAMESPACE2, "Category",new Category().getClass());

Now my Webservice recieve my Object Category, but the first attribute from Category (CategoryID) is not transmitted and LogCat shows following exception:

 06-13 09:59:17.459: W/System.err(647): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unknown Property: categoryId

I tested it a second time without CategoryID, but then is Description the unknown property :-(

What is wrong?

EDIT:

I think the exception is because the different Namespace in envelope.addMapping. What could i do, to use only one Namespace?

Answer 2

Try using

private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://ws.chathura.com/xsd";

in your android activity and add the getters and setters to your Category class in the client.
