Re: How do I read only the XML data in doPost(req,res)?
Do you have control over how the request is composed?
If so, you can put the XML data in a parameter say "xmldoc"
and the equivalent GET request will look like the following
http://URL?xmldoc=<yourXML>...</yourXML>
("<" and ">" not escaped)
Then in your program do
request.getParameter("xmldoc");
to get the xml data.

Subject: How do I read only the XML data in doPost(req,res)?
> I'm receiving a HTTP POST request containg XML data and want to process
the data in the doPost method of my servlet. When I do
request.getContentLength(), it gives the length of the entire request
including the HTTP header etc, but I only want the XML portion of it. I
can't find any Java methods which will return only the data part of the
request. How can I do this?

Re: How do I read only the XML data in doPost(req,res)?

What I really meant was to write a parameter "xmldoc=<yourXML>...</yourXML>"
into the outputstream of the HttpURLConnection like the following to make it
a Post.
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.write(params);
Not sure whether there is any limit this way though.
But Request#getInputStream() does provide the request body w/o the header.

Try this, override service and not doGet / doPost
where the code is
public void service( ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response )
throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException
{
Document doc;
// Create an InputStream to read in the XML data to be parsed
ServletInputStream is = request.getInputStream();
doc = m_DocBuilder.parse(is);
}
Where m_DocBuilder created in init()
m_DocFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
m_DocBuilder = m_DocFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
declared as
private static DocumentBuilderFactory m_DocFactory = null;
private static DocumentBuilder m_DocBuilder = null;

The OP may run into some limits with that, unless those are very small
XML docs. =)
Doesn't Request#getInputStream() provide the body? -or does it get the
whole request, headers and all?
