Re: getting a parameter

[Paul Jones]

Thank you for your help.  The code below did not get exactly what I wanted, but it pointed me in the right direction.  I had to go about three child elements deeper to find the actual value I wanted.  I actually replaced the getChildElements with getFirstChild and then called getFirstChild 4 times until I had the actual value.  Thank you for your quick reply.   Paul >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/20/04 12:15 pm >>> Hi Paul, This should get you where you want to go.... SOAPEnvelope    env  = messageContext.getRequestMessage().getSOAPEnvelope(); SOAPBodyElement e    = env.getFirstBody(); Iterator it          = e.getChildElements(); while (it.hasNext()) { } By iterating thru the child elements you should be able to retrieve the proper information...
