Hi,
I am not sure that I understand your use case.
If you would like just to send arbitrary xml to the web service, Dispatch
interface is exactly what you need.
The code will look like:
Service service = Service.create(SERVICE_NAME);
service.addPort(PORT_NAME, SOAPBinding.SOAP11HTTP_BINDING, ADDRESS);
Dispatch<Source> dispatch = service.createDispatch(PORT_NAME,
Source.class, Service.Mode.PAYLOAD);
System.out.println("Invoking sayHi...");
dispatch.getRequestContext().put(MessageContext.WSDL_OPERATION,
operationName);
Source response = dispatch.invoke(new StreamSource(new
ByteArrayInputStream(payload.getBytes("utf-8"))));
Take a look into jaxws_dispatch_provider delivered with CXF for details.
Regards,
Andrei.
