DJ,
The easiest way for me to pass XML documents through SOAP is to convert the XML into a
string, pass it over the wire and then recreate the XML. The code snippets below show
how to do that using JDOM.
//Client code
File f = new File("SampleLocate.xml");
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build(f);
XMLOutputter out = new XMLOutputter();
String request = out.outputString(doc);
// set up SOAP Call object here.
Vector params = new Vector();
params.addElement(new Parameter("request", String.class, request, null));
call.setParams(params);
//Here is what happens on the server side
StringReader sr = new StringReader(request);
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
Document requestDoc = builder.build(sr);
// Back at the ranch on the client
Response resp = call.invoke(url, "");
Parameter p = resp.getReturnValue();
String returnedXML = p.toString();
Then you can recreate the XML on the client just as was done on the server. This is
probably not the cleanest way to achieve passing XML docs, but it is easy and works
well with JDOM.
HTH,
Harris
