This all sounds good, and I have been able to pass XML documents back
and forth as RPC and Document parameters. The problem is getting it to
work with .NET.
1. I haven't found a way to access the Document parameters on the .NET
side. If somebody has an example, that would be great.
2. I have tried the XML to string route, and it *should* work,
unfortunately, I get the following error:
String in is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16">
<test>
<name>
Robert Evans
</name>
<time tz="EST">
12:10
</time>
</test>
- Exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=1: Character
conversion error: "Missing byte-order mark" (Line number may be too low).
at
org.apache.axis.utils.XMLUtils$ParseErrorHandler.fatalError(XMLUtils.java:472)
at ....
Note that the String is passed in, but I get this mysterious error on
the XMLUtils utility. Source code is below:
System.out.println("String in is " + string);
StringBufferInputStream is = new tringBufferInputStream(string);
Document doc = null;
doc = XMLUtils.newDocument(is);
// if you use parse() you use a string of an ELEMENT as put.
// This does not contain the xml declaration that is in most
// Documents/files
// doc = db.parse( is );
if (doc == null) {
return "HelloWorld6.sayHello() had an error parsing the input";
}
My problem is that I can't figure out one way to have these two
platforms (Axis and .Net) pass an XML document!
