RE: vs. SUCCESS (and a follow up question)

[Frank Starsinic <fs...@apengines.com>]

OK i got it to work.
i needed to use this encoding style.

call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);

thanks simon!

i have one more question for someone. then i'll be an expert.  :)
  (i've included the xml file, the resulant soap packet and the java snippet
i tried to get it to work.)
how do i create the soap packet (below) using the apache SOAP API given
that the only information i know is the following xml file
######################################### xml file

i don't have a problem generating the http header, just the xml
part.

here is the soap packet that works that i need to generate using the apache
soap api.
