I'd use a StringBuffer object to build the XML string the way you need it to be and then do something like this:
DocumentBuilder xdb = XMLParserUtils.getXMLDocBuilder(); Document doc = xdb.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(stringBuffer.toString()))); Envelope env = Envelope.unmarshall(doc.getDocumentElement()); And then you can send the message: Message msg = new Message(); msg.send(url, "", env); That should get you started... Hi all Please forgive me if this is a daft question as I am relativley new to Apache SOAP. I am trying to send a SOAP message to a proprietry SOAP server, the message looks like this. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <m:putPerson xmlns:m="http://www.myurl.org/gateway/"; TimeStampGMT="2002-01-18T10:26:22" Version="1.0"> <Name>ALEX</Name> <Address> <Line1>25 The Road</Line1> <Town>London</Town> <County>Sussex</County> </Address> </m:putPerson > </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> The problem I am having is how to create the structed XML for the Body of the message. I can create a message using a flat structure, i.e <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <m:putPerson xmlns:m="http://www.myurl.org/gateway/"; TimeStampGMT="2002-01-18T10:26:22" Version="1.0"> <Name>ALEX</Name> <Line1>25 The Road</Line1> <Town>London</Town> <County>Sussex</County> </m:putPerson > </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Is there a way to create the structured XML? Thanks in advance Alex
