Hi Chris,
Just to clarify: do you want to have access to the envelope or one of the two items referenced by the envelope which is the soap-header-part or the soap-body-part? You get back a response and that is what you can refer to as the applications payload. That is the content of an envelope, the soap-body. Why would you need to have access (as you write it) to the envelope as the outer most part in a sopa/xml message? The envelope has a soap-header (like any envelope should have) and a soap-body part. Application requests from a client and responses from a server are shipped in the soap-body. While Infrastructure items like soap-headers are sent by client and server in the header-part and are handled by the infrastructure of axis2 (client and server) through modules and other axis2 engine related layers. If you want to access the message-soap-body-part, then .-1 is the way to go. And the Axiom OMElement omElt as .-1 said can be traversed by nodes from parent to child and from sibling to sibling through Axiom routines. Josef Von: Meeusen, Christopher W.

Hi, I have an ADB client that is working fine, but I would like to get the contents of the soap envelope and store that XML/String somewhere for comparisons later in my app. I'm able to do a round trip to the server and my stub is populated fine with all the elements, but how do I access the returned envelope itself? I've been looking through the docs here but I don't see a method to retrieve this. http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/api/org/apache/axis2/client/Stub. html Thanks, Chris
