Re: Encoding request as iso8859_1

[jayachandra]

Hi Kim!
I've a work around suggestion to the problem you described. Try using
the call.invoke(Message msg) method call by creating your own message
(needn't fear, it could be as simple as changing a few lines here and
there of a template file) and setting the "javax.xml.soap.encoding"
property of that Message to your custom encoding say "ISO-8859-1".
This would enable you to set the HTTP contentType sent as the your
custom encoding. Below is the listing of a TestClient which tries to
invoke a EchoStirng method of sample Echo service hosted on localhost
in the described way. It worked for me. Hope you would find it useful

public class TestClient1 {

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
                Service service = new Service();
                Call call = (Call)service.createCall();
                
                
call.setTargetEndpointAddress("http://localhost:9090/axis/services/Echo";);
                MessageContext msgCtxt = call.getMessageContext();
                
                String sXML =   
            "<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\";
xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\";
xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\";>"
          + "<soapenv:Body>"
                  + "<ns1:EchoString
soapenv:encodingStyle=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\";
xmlns:ns1=\"http://myownurl.org\";>"
                  + "<ns1:arg0 xsi:type=\"soapenc:string\"
xmlns:soapenc=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\";
xmlns:ns1=\"http://myownurl.org\";>Hi, World! � is a foreign
character</ns1:arg0></ns1:EchoString>"
          + "</soapenv:Body>"
          + "</soapenv:Envelope>";

                sXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n" + sXML;  
                Message oMsg;
                oMsg = new Message (sXML);
                
oMsg.setProperty("javax.xml.soap.character-set-encoding","ISO-8859-1");

                msgCtxt.setRequestMessage(oMsg);
                
                Object result = call.invoke(oMsg);
                //Object result = call.invoke(new Object[]{"Hi, World! � is a
foreign character"});
                
                System.out.println("Returned result is: " + result.toString());
        }
}

P.S:: Actually returned object is a SOAPEnvelope, so you would see as
output the whole envelope when you run this.
