Getting a webservice to return it's result as XML.

[Peter Ross <pr...@missioncriticalit.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to write a simple web-service.

public String GetForms()
{
    return "<Forms><Form>XXX</Form><Form>YYY</Form></Forms>";
}

Currently when I expose this as a web-service it returns the XML
response as a string.

<GetFormsReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">
    <Forms><Form>FormA</Form><Form>FormB</Form><Form>FormC</Form></Forms>
</GetFormsReturn>

What I would like to do is to return the XML directly.  From my reading
of the Axis users guide I need to use a Document, Wrapped or Message
style service.  However I am finding the documentation on these
confusing, and am unclear how I go about doing it.

If anyone can point me to some more documentation about which service to
use and how to do it, that would be great.

Regards,
Peter Ross

SOAP Response format

["D. Delcomminette" <dd...@aireinfo.com>]

Hi,

I met two different formats of SOAP response in different implementations, I
would like to know if they are both valid and wch oneis more usual or
advisable?


1)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<e:Envelope xmlns:e="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:d="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:wn0="http://systinet.com/xsd/SchemaTypes/"
xmlns:wn1="http://idoox.com/interface">
<e:Body>
<wn0:string_Response i:type="d:string">Hello, Domi!</wn0:string_Response>
</e:Body>
</e:Envelope>

2)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<e:Envelope xmlns:e="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:wn0="http://systinet.com/xsd/SchemaTypes/"
        <e:Body>
                <string_Response  xmlns="http://idoox.com ....">Hello,
Domi!</string_Response>
        </e:Body>
</e:Envelope>

Some clients, like MS Infopath do no support the second fashion ????

Thanks

Dominique

Thanks for the pointer.

Does anyone else have anyother information sources about document and
wrapper services?
