They seem to have changed the way you do AXL in version 8,
 
I am suffering from the same experience, (you can look at my posts)
 
I have started chainging the way i do things using WDSL but that has it's own hicups.
 
Thanks

Hi David

I think I have now worked out that after AXL CUCM 7.1 there seemed to be a big change in AXL messages and responses.

1. The initial Post command no longer responds with the SOAPAction CUCM Version after 7.1 (I found this out after posting SOAPAction:CUCM Version 8.5 and then sending an invalid message this reposned with the CUCM 8.5 response in the error message so this confirmed I was using Version 8.5).

2. It seems that even on CUCM 8.5 the AXL software still includes vesrions 6.1, 7.0, 7,1, 8.0 & 8.5 contrary to the AXL Versioning and Schema Plan in the Developer Guide.

3. I had to rewrite the scripts which previously worked on vesrions 6.1, 7.0 and 7.1

4. My last issue is: What parameter do I update to change the CSS in the Directory Number Settings, I am using updateLine which allows me to change the description etc.

If you´re building it on .NET, avoid declare SOAPAction. We don´t need it.
