Hi, When you receive a SOAP response from a web service, the contents must match the WSDL/XSD schema defined for that service operation. I believe what you want is to take that XML and send it back out in another slightly different format. That amounts to changing from one schema to another, and I believe that's outside the scope of Axis2. You might be able to write a simple translator framework that converts one XML to another using mappings between one property to another, but it might not be straightforward as that. Keep in mind that Axis2 primaly handles sending/receiving SOAP. It does comes with various data binding options built-in. The actual data binding tool used (i.e. XmlBeans) mainly handles serialization between XML and the Java type for a given XSD schema. To change from one schema to another, you'd have do write additional code for that. -Vinh

I have to send a SOAP Request in the following format <general> <item>SOAP</item> <version>1.1</version> </general> <item> <foodItem> <type>liquid</type> <quantity>1</quantity> </fooditem> </item> I had gone through SAAJ API and found that it is very easy to construct the same SOAP Request. My question is the same can be build using bean mapping concept in AXIS.. Is there any difference in sending the SOAP Request using AXIS with bean serialization an by using SAAJ API. Can any body suggest me how to proceed further Thanks, ram ________________________________ Chat on a cool, new interface. No download required.
