Re: Modifying SOAP responses with a Handler

[Yuri Demchenko]

Your solution is standard for JAX-RPC.

But for other people it might be interesting to look at other 
possibilities how to use JAX-RPC and SAAJ in "The Java Web Services 
Tutorial"

http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicestutorial.html

Chapter 12:   Building Web Services With JAX-RPC
Section 13. SOAP with Attachments API for Java
They have quite good examples for both Handlers for server and for client.

Well I found the answer to my own question.

For interest, here's how to do it:

Somehow obtain a DOM Element object which contains all the stuff which 
will go INSIDE the body (don't include the SOAP Envelope and SOAP Body 
tags or you'll get a deserialization exception).

Then do the following (assuming the Element is called elem):

SOAPEnvelope se = new SOAPEnvelope();
SOAPBodyElement sbe = new SOAPBodyElement(elem);
se.addBodyElement(sbe);
Message newMsg = new Message((Object)se);
msgContext.setCurrentMessage(newMsg);

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to modify the SOAP content of 
a server response message using a Handler object?? What I want to do 
is get my Handler to change the response message to a SOAP message 
(in XML) which is read in from an InputStream.

I've tried like this:

InputSource xmlSource = new InputSource(pis);
DeserializationContext dser = new 
DeserializationContextImpl(xmlSource, msgContext, Message.RESPONSE);
dser.parse();

But this causes a SocketTimeoutException when a call a service.

Any ideas??
