Thanks for your help Dave, Using a handler would be a pretty nice way of doing this - I'll look further in to it. Im a complete newbie to AXIS though, so Im a bit confused as to how I get 'back' to an XML source to parse again. It is a contained SOAPBody which I wish to validate, and I believe JAXP says I should use a Transformer to do this.... However, I notice that if I get hold of the body, a 'toString()' provides me with the original XML content of the body!! Is this an ok feature to use, or should I stick with a Transformer?
Many thanks, Dave -----Original Message----- From: David Peterson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 January 2003 19:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Validating content sent to style="message" services Hi Dave, Since no-one else seems to have had a crack at your question, I will. I believe you can achieve what you are looking for by using"SOAP handlers", which as I understand them are akin to "servlet filters" except for the SOAP/web-services rather than Java servlets. Basically my idea would be to create a SOAP handler that is invoked before the JAXM message is processed by the web service, and pass the message XML to a validating (DOM) XML parser. Obviously the parser would also need to be able to fetch the DOM that matches the message in order to perform the validation. Hope this helps. Comments from others welcome.
