I use document/literal sytle
looking at the soap using tcpmon it looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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>
<getListResponse xmlns="">
<getListReturn><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT><RECORD><id>1</id><id>1</id><contactid>20</contactid&id>1</id><contactid>29</contactid><emailcount>2</emailcount><emailaddress>[EMAIL
PROTECTED]</emailaddress></RECORD></ROOT>
]]></getListReturn>
</getListResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
but when i retutn the result using call.invoke the xml is well formed

You might be able to get away with that if you know your XML never contains
"]]".
The "proper" way to pass XML in a web service is to use the
"document/literal" style - have a look at the Axis User guide for further
details.

Subject: Re: xml with strange characters
thanks - don't know whether you have heard of it, but we are uisng a
product called laszlo and even though the xml i return is perfect when i
write a java client to my web service when laszlo is used it escapes the
angle brackets - we have now found out xml isn't supported!
so now i have to re-write my ws
i have this code which returns the xml
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
// create a resultsetbuilder to transform resultset to XML
try
{
RecordsetToXML rsXML = new RecordsetToXML(rs, "ROOT", "RECORD");
// create the XML from recordset
Document jDOMDoc = rsXML.build();
rs = null;
XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
outputter.output(jDOMDoc, writer);
result = writer.toString();
//System.out.print("XML " + writer);
writer.close();
}
.......
return result;
So do i do this - [CDATA[writer.toString()]]
when i'm testing i do String ret - (String) call.invoke(new
Object[]{params}); as normal
thanks for your help
