Namespace for array field in node-soap client (Node.js)

How to configure node-soap client set namespace for array not only for objects?

My params for 'sendPatient' method:

params = {
        patientCard: {
          patient: {
            firstName: 'test',
            lastName: 'test'
          },
          identifiers:
            {
              code: "123456789",
              codeType: 1
            }
        }
      };
client.sendPatient(params, ...)

node-soap produce:

<soap:Envelope                                                     
  xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"           
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"            
  xmlns:tns="http://xxx/patient/api/"     
  xmlns:bi="http://xxx/base/info/build/">              
  <soap:Header></soap:Header>                                      
  <soap:Body>                                                      
    <tns:sendPatient                                               
      xmlns:tns="http://xxx/patient/api/" 
      xmlns="http://xxx/patient/api/">    
      <tns:patientCard>                                            
        <ns1:patient                                               
          xmlns:ns1="http://xxx/patient/">
          <ns1:firstName>test</ns1:firstName>
          <ns1:lastName>test</ns1:lastName>                      
        </ns1:patient>                                             
        <ns1:identifiers                                           
          xmlns:ns1="http://xxx/patient/">
          <ns1:code>123456789</ns1:code>                         
          <ns1:codeType>1</ns1:codeType>                           
        </ns1:identifiers>                                         
      </tns:patientCard>                                           
    </tns:sendPatient>                                             
  </soap:Body>                                                     
</soap:Envelope>

and it's works, but I need to send array of identifiers, not only one, so when I put array

params = {
        patientCard: {
          patient: {
            firstName: 'test',
            lastName: 'test'
          },
          identifiers: [
            {
              code: "123456789",
              codeType: 1
            }, {
              code: "987654321",
              codeType: 2
            }
          ]
        }
      };

node-soap produce:

<soap:Envelope

  <soap:Body>                                                      
    <tns:sendPatient

      <tns:patientCard>

          <ns1:code>00100180035</ns1:code>

        </ns1:identifiers>                                         
        <ns1:identifiers>                                          
          <ns1:code>00100180035</ns1:code>                         
          <ns1:codeType>1</ns1:codeType>                           
        </ns1:identifiers>                                         
      </tns:patientCard>                                           
    </tns:sendPatient>                                             
  </soap:Body>                                                     
</soap:Envelope>                                                   

and I get error from server for <ns1:identifiers> part

`[com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Undeclared namespace prefix "ns1" at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [17,25]]`

What am I doing wrong? Can I somehow add xmlns:ns1="http://xxx/patient/" to <soap:Envelope> tag or configure node-soap to add it for arrays too (not for only simple objects)? P.S. Sorry for my English

Published temporary solution on Github

after createClient patch wsdl definitions

soap.createClient(wsdl, options, function(err, client) {
      client.wsdl.definitions.xmlns.ns1 = 'http://xxx/patient/'
      client.wsdl.xmlnsInEnvelope = client.wsdl._xmlnsMap()

      //works now
      client.sendPatient(...)
});

In typescript you can access to private wsdl as Swarthy comments, but appending the namespace directly:

client['wsdl'].xmlnsInEnvelope += 'xmlns:ns1="http://xxx/patient/"';
client['wsdl']._xmlnsMap();
