How to send a XML string using SOAP
After reviewing the Apache SOAP documentation and code, I am unable to find
a way to perform what I hoped would be a simple and standard task.
What I'd like to do is provide a string representation of XML as the
payload of a SOAP message. Is this possible, must I build a DOM out of
this XML in order to get the soap wrapper and transport? Put another way,
I've got a pre-canned valid XML string I'd like to send using SOAP without
paying the expense of first converting it to a DOM object to feed to SOAP
which would then ultimately convert it back to a string. Is is this
possible and reasonable?
I guess I was expecting there to be a method on Body to set the payload as
a string, sidestepping the expense of the unmarshall(Node) and expense of
the extra steps taken in the marshall call. I'm also thinking about that
32ms overhead referenced in "Apache-SOAP performance."
Thanks in advance,
~Mike

I tried this, and the only way I can see is to build the XML string in a
CDATA bracket, and then add it as a normal String type. But I did use the
Literal XML encoding very successfully, and found the parse/serialize
overhead to be minimal (<10ms which was OK for what I need), so that is the
best way if it can work for you.
Thanks,
Cory
