SOAP to DOM

[va...@bull.net]

In a handler (axis BasicHandler type), I need to transform the soap part of
the message into a Document object
I use the javax.xml.transform.Transformer and I get the Document object.
But this Document is full of "\n" and sometimes "\r" or spaces !!!
It's not very easy to use : is there any solution to get a "clean" Document
object with only the meaningful elements of the SOAPPart ?

Hi!

The whole thing can be much simplified if you want the SOAPEnvelope (not 
only the body of it) in the current context (request or response):

void invoke(MessageContext msgContext)
{
    try
    {
       org.apache.axis.Message testMsg = context.getCurrentMessage();
       org.w3c.Element element = testMsg.getSOAPEnvelope().getAsDOM();
    }
    catch ( Exception ex )
    {
       throw new AxisFault("could not get body.");
    }
...
}

Hi Valerie!

You can try something like this:
In the method invoke of your handler (as it extends BasicHandler) you 
have the following signature:

void invoke(MessageContext msgContext)

So you can try something like:

void invoke(MessageContext msgContext)
{
    org.apache.axis.Message testMsg = context.getRequestMessage();
    //Or ResponseMessage if getPastPivot() is true

    org.apache.axis.SOAPPart soapPart;
    soapPart = (org.apache.axis.SOAPPart)testMsg.getSOAPPart();
    try
    {
       org.apache.axis.message.SOAPBody body;
       body = (org.apache.axis.message.SOAPBody)
          soapPart.getAsSOAPEnvelope().getBody();
       org.w3c.Element element = body.getAsDOM();
       //or: org.w3c.Document doc = body.getAsDocument();
    }
    catch ( Exception ex )
    {
       throw new AxisFault("could not get body.");
    }
...
}
