remove element from soap body

[Alexander Rosemann <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering what's the best way to alter a soap body within a 
handler. I have the soap body (SOAPBody body = 
msgCtx.getEnvelope().getBody();) and can navigate though it's elements 
but don't know how to alter (i.e. remove) a certain element.

Since I haven't found anything on the web, I was wondering whether 
somebody tried to achieve the same and could point me into the right 
direction.

I'm using Axis2 1.4.1.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Isuru,

Thanks for your help. It works!
In case someone else encounters a similar issue, that's how I did it 
(removes the very first element of the SOAP body):

SOAPBody body = oMessageContext.getEnvelope().getBody();

OMElement first = body.getFirstElement();
OMElement second = first.getFirstElement();

// remove the first element from the body
first.detach();

// add the request element to the body
body.addChild(second);

Regards,
-Alex
