You are probably right. Haven't had time to look but I hope the payload "text" element is defined as space="preserve". If yes then its OK, If not then ?
Any idea where is the XSD is easily available ? It is probably one of the mediators removing the white space along the way; as XML does not preserve this. I will have to add in yet again more java to wrap the text field in CDATA "". As the recipient cannot change their XSD, this looks like the only option....Not sure XSLT will work unless target name space also defines the element as space preserve ? My simple Synapse script is becoming a massive Java program. And I thought "wouldn't it be easy to use a scripting tool like Synapse compared to writing Java code ". How wrong.
