To be entirely clear, what is the method signature desired for the service method?
A message style service will pass/return DOM Element objects: Example: Element[] echoElements(Element [] elems) Or, you could simply pass a String containing XML which will work as well.... Example: String echoXMLString(String stXML) Or pass a URL to an external XML resource as the parameter where the service method opens the file using java.io.File. Example: String echoXMLFile(String stURL) The choice depends upon application specific requirements.... /Chris -----Original Message----- From: Hainer Neil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 4:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Helping send XML files Chris, I just want to clarify. I was as clear as maybe I should of been. My goal is to pass an XML file as a parameter to one of the public methods of my service without AXIS interferring with it or getting upset over it. I will check out the message example. Thanks, Neil chris wrote: >A message service would be the correct approach.
