Andreas, Thanks for your response. You pointed out that the <![CDATA[ section is actually a character section. But since the soap envelope is getting sent with invalid XML characters the Target .Net web service is sending a code back, which interprets to invalid XML parameters format.

No. The settings in XMLInputFactory.properties can only be overridden by a StAXParserConfiguration object, but this doesn't generate any debug logs. Axis2 uses StAXParserConfiguration.SOAP, but that configuration doesn't change the javax.xml.stream.isCoalescing property. > From > StAXUtils.java -> newXMLInputFactory() method, there is no debug line, which > shows what property is getting set.

If you enable debug logging on StAXUtils, it will actually output that information in the loadFactoryProperties method, but this occurs only once because the factory is cached. > ClassLoader is able to find the > XMLInputFactory.properties file but I can still see that CDATA string is not > preserved in the logs. Short answer: that is because there are no CDATA sections to preserve... Long answer: With Woodstox (other parsers require additional settings), javax.xml.stream.isCoalescing=false can be used to make sure that CDATA sections are reported with a distinct event type (and not as CHARACTERS events), so that the syntactic information about CDATA sections is not lost in the object model built by Axiom (which is generally not a problem because a CDATA section is a purely syntactic construct, but is not supposed to carry any semantic meaning). The logs you have shown actually indicate that the message that is being parsed doesn't contain any CDATA section: 2012-01-18 11:10:34,587 [main] DEBUG httpclient.wire.content - << "<?xm" 2012-01-18 11:10:34,588 [main] DEBUG httpclient.wire.content - << "l version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"; xmlns:rpc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-rpc"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";><soap:Body><RetrieveByParameterResponse xmlns="http://wsdl.echelon.com/Panoramix/";><RetrieveByParameterResult xmlns=""><RETURNS><STATUS>8a27cb8afd464686a3893f4f8db26540</STATUS><APIPAYLOAD /></RETURNS></RetrieveByParameterResult></RetrieveByParameterResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>" Note that even your output message doesn't contain any CDATA section: 2012-01-18 11:10:34,560 [main] DEBUG httpclient.wire.content - >> "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";><soapenv:Body><ns1:RetrieveByParameter xmlns:ns1="http://wsdl.echelon.com/Panoramix/";><sKey>d0fa5e6038dc4a3091a590834cd5cc11</sKey><sIDTypeID>f76e5d708edd464593bb031f646990b6</sIDTypeID><sID>100063728</sID><sXmlParameters><![CDATA[<PARAMETERS><RETURN><GENERALINFORMATION><INFORMATIONRETURNTYPEID>3294f665bc644359bfd15824d2efe29c</INFORMATIONRETURNTYPEID></GENERALINFORMATION></RETURN></PARAMETERS>]]></sXmlParameters></ns1:RetrieveByParameter></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>" "<!CDATA[" is not a CDATA section, but character data that represents "<
