a web service of mine is returing import org.w3c.dom.Element as the type.
This is one way to return literal XML with Apache SOAP says IBM
(http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soapmap1/ ).
The SOAP message looks fine when viewing with SOAPMonitor, but I have yet to
be able to write a client that can read the Element. I get statement when
trying to dump the Element to the screen. Here is snippet of my client
code:
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call)service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( endPoint );
call.setOperationName( "getNiches" );
call.setReturnClass(org.w3c.dom.Element.class);
call.setReturnType(new
javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://xml.apache.org/xml-
soap", "Element"));
call.setEncodingStyle( Constants.NS_URI_XML );
Element xml = (Element) call.invoke(new java.lang.Object[] {});
System.out.println( xml );
IBM states that setting the encoding style to Constants.NS_URI_XML will
force the encoding to be of literal XML. Here is my SOAP Message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:getNichesResponse
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xmlns:ns1="http://TLI";>
<ns1:getNichesReturn xsi:type="ns2:Element"
xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap";>
<email-list>
<emails><email age="24" first=" meg"
sex="F">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email>
</email-list>
</ns1:getNichesReturn>
</ns1:getNichesResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Here is the result of my println:
[email-list: null]
Can some get me in the right direction for how to recieve the Element object
with a Axis Client ? What am I doing wrong in the above. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
P.S - I tried the WSDL2Java code as well, I still get the null result even
though the raw SOAP message clearly shows the XML as the return type.
