I fully agree over there except that you may lack some genericity specially when your application is sending data to 'generic database tools' servers like 'data inserters' which are hidding the data semantics in order to be able to income allmost everything. under those circumstances you then need to send flat xml oriented string because the only guy allowed to deal with data semantics will be the SQL side generic tool...

It is based on serializing and deserializing Java classes. There is no tool to generate the Java classes or serialization code from XSD or WSDL. There are other SOAP implementations for Java (e.g. GLUE and Idoox) that *may* do this, but I am not sufficiently familiar with these to be certain. Personally, I do not care for the technique of turning everything into a string. Of course, I don't like storing and passing data as DataSets, either. My preference is to pass "objects" that have some meaning to your application domain. For example, you appear to be sending a DataSet consisting of "company" data, including related "contract" information. Were I implementing this, I would be using Company and Contract classes, passing an array of Company instances as a method parameter rather than a DataSet. Roughly, this would look like public class Contract implements org.apache.xml.Serializer { // even better: use accessor/mutator (getter/setter) methods public String ContractNo; public String CustomerCode; public String CODA_CreditAccountCode; public String CODA_DebitAccountCode; public String CODA_CustomerCode; public void marshall(String inScopeEncStyle, Class javaType, Object src, Object context, Writer sink, NSStack nsStack, XMLJavaMappingRegistry xjmr, SOAPContext ctx) throws IllegalArgumentException, IOException { // code to write this data as XML } ... } public class Company implements org.apache.xml.Serializer { public String CompanyId; public String Name; public String AddressLine1; ... public Contract[] contracts; public void marshall(String inScopeEncStyle, Class javaType, Object src, Object context, Writer sink, NSStack nsStack, XMLJavaMappingRegistry xjmr, SOAPContext ctx) throws IllegalArgumentException, IOException { // code to write this data as XML } ... } As you can see, I present a fairly mechanical translation of XSD to Java, so it is clear that a tool could be written to do this programmatically, but as I said, there is not one included in Apache SOAP. So, that is how I would do this. That does not mean it is wrong or impossible to either use a DataSet or turn everything into a single string. I just happen to think that using Company and Contract makes the semantics of the SOAP method more clear, and it provides a straight forward way to write a client in any programming language.

Event if the file contains dynamic Xml defs which seems to be the case here , you simply can send the full content using an xs:string type.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/20/2002 01:17 PM Please respond to soap-dev To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: java client for .NET webservice and Co okay so after have looked at many documentation, i didn't find the solution so i post my question here : what i must create is a java client that sends a DataSet to a .NET webservice. This webservice takes the DataSet and add it into a SQL server database. My problem is : how to create a DataSet understandable by Microsoft ? I first have a java object (myCompanyObject, with the name, the address etc...) So is the DataSet created by a class that transforms objects into DataSet ? or is it performed by a xml, wsdl, something file ? (my knowledge about wsdl is very small) ??? even better : how would look like the code for a "object to DataSet" transformation in some sample lines ? here is the doc about my .NET webservice SOAP The following is a sample SOAP request and response.
