I have some basic questions regarding Document style web services. I am sure you might have answers or suggestions to them. Background: We want to access a document style web service. Where wsdl definition defines body as XSD. This means that we will be sending XML data. Q1. I went thru so many articles and searches but havent found good example of document style web service client. Everywhere I see they generate java code and client requires me to create and populate the generated object. However in my scenario I have the data as pure XML string and I want to send the same xml to webservice without converting it into object. Can somebody tell me how we can do it?

Can somebody tell me how we can do it? Are there any tools technology available to achieve this.I have seen some examples using JAXM, but they seem very low level and will be complex since messages to be sent are big(150 to 200 elements). I am sure there should be some better way of doing it and I don’t have to code each element.

1. Modern JAXRPC soap stacks do generate/process doc/lit messages, but dont work at the XML Space.


2. The JAX-RPC api now lets you get at the XML bits of a message in a DOM structure, but it can be very inefficiently implemented; it is very much an after thought.


3. Axis2 (still under development) has an XML-centric message view (AXIOM) as the core message representation. This may be interesting, but you'd have to work with very leading-edge code to use.

If you work at the XML level, playing with elements, attributes and these things, then the JAXM is I think the best way.

If you do not want to parse the XML, you can do just simple HTTP POST with text/xml content and your XML string in the payload. It depends also what you want to do with the response, if any.

Cheers,
