I have created a simple xml document as a DOM object e.g. <XppTrade> <TradeId>314159TKM901</TradeId> </XppTrade>
I want to send this as a SOAP message to a web service in apache axis using the message method (as opposed to RPC). What is the easiest way to insert the DOM object into the SOAP message? For example I have tried: 1) org.apache.axis.message.SOAPEnvelope env = new SOAPEnvelope(); 2) org.apache.axis.message.SOAPBody sb = env.getBody(); 3) org.apache.axis.message.SOAPBodyElement sbe = env.getBody().addDocument(myDOMdoc); However in lines 2 and 3 the SOAPBody and SOAPBodyElement objects returned from the SOAPEnvelope are of type javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody and javax.xml.soap. SOAPBodyElement not org.apache.axis.message... So what's going on here? The only other examples I have seen are loading the dom doc into the envelope as a file via an i/o input stream or by adding each SOAPBodyElement like: input[0] = new SOAPBodyElement(XMLUtils.StringToElement("urn:foo", "e1", "Hello")); call.invoke( input ); I'd rather just add the DOM object if I can. Many thanks in advance Tom
