Thanks Wagh.. If I return the Document object, when I generate the WSDL through the Java2WSDL tool does Axis know to place the xsd:anyType in the WSDL or do I need to change the WSDL by hand?

Hi Chris,

If your service has to return the XML document then you can choose to
return the DOM object. But in WSDL type you will have to specify the
response message->part->element type as xsd:anyType.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

For those who are interested in Web Services testing:
-----------------------------------------------------
I found that WebServiceTester from Optimyz software is a very good tool
for testing any types of web services, and I'm great fan of this tool.
It supports all types of web services, and all simple and complex types
and it very usable than any other tool in the market I ever
used/evaluated. It automatically generates the SOAP requests and invokes
the intended web services. It can perform functional, regression and
load testing of web services. Result analysis and status reporting is
just wonderful.  I'll highly recommend this tool for testing web
services, saves lots of time and efforts in testing web services. For
more information visit http://www.optimyz.com.

Subject: return type of an XML doc ?

I need to return a list of customer records from a database and
preferrably
that list be a XML document itself.  I understand the Bean Serialization

when needing complex types, but has anyone had to return an XML document

itself as a result ?

I am wondering the best approach for returning an XML document - is it
concidered a complex type that I need to serialize some how, or is there

underlying functionality in Axis that will simply allow me to return a
Document type as a result?  I want to avoid SOAP attachements if at all
possible.

Thanks for any ideas all...


chris
