Re: Helping send XML files

The method signature desired is: String echoXMLString(String stXML) Neil chris wrote: 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. See samples/message which is documented in the users guide: http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html If you look under the hood, you will also see that the AdminService is a message style service that accepts and returns XML. /Chris http://cvs.apache.org/~haddadc -----Original Message----- From: Hainer Neil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 4:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Helping send XML files Hi, I want to send XML files to my AXIS service and have it return XML files to the client. What is the correct way of going about this? TIA, Neil
