Boris - "http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap":"Element" is the QName for org.w3c.dom.Element when using Apache Axis
------ Source Code References: Org/apache/axis/Constants.java public static final String NS_URI_XMLSOAP = "http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"; public static final QName SOAP_ELEMENT = new QName(NS_URI_XMLSOAP, "Element"); Org/apache/axis/encoding/DefaultTypeMappingImpl.java // Use the Element Serializeration for elements myRegister(Constants.SOAP_ELEMENT, org.w3c.dom.Element.class, new ElementSerializerFactory(), new ElementDeserializerFactory(), false); myRegister(Constants.SOAP_VECTOR, java.util.Vector.class, new VectorSerializerFactory(java.util.Vector.class, Constants.SOAP_VECTOR), new VectorDeserializerFactory(java.util.Vector.class, Constants.SOAP_VECTOR), false); -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 8:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NS_URI_LITERAL_XML in AXIS Hi I guess this is the right list to ask my question. I have a client that receives a dom.Element as a string (this did not required any serializes or tricks) using pure SOAP 2.2. But then I tried to do the same call to the service using AXIS and I was left with the problem that AXIS does not have the Constants.NS_URI_LITERAL_XML encoding, which allows me to send dom.Elements over SOAP (the Element is send as arguments to the service). So I received the error that there is no serilizer. Did anyone knows what is an equivalent encoding of NS_URI_LITERAL_XML in AXIS Thanks Boris
