Andrew, I'd like to write a webservice that receives a complete XML File in a SOAP Body and writes it into a database. What possibilities do I have to do this? I thought about parsing the XML Document into a DOM-Object and give it to the axis serializer in the client....on the web service side I would get a DOM-Object from the axis deserializer, which I can use for databases' writing operations.
My problem now is, that I only know how to use axis' serializer/deserializer with String-objects, not with DOM-Objects (from class dom.Document). I don't want to create mappings or any additional stuff, I'd just like to use the standard object types from axis. Do you think that the only possibility is to pass the xml document as a huge String? Thanks!! Mark. Ps sorry about my bad English....still learning :) -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Vardeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 11:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: object types for autom. serialization Mark, Do you have control of the client and the service? It seems like the only part of a dom.Document you might want to pass that you couldn't pass literally is the <?xml version = "1.0"?> declaration, which would make the SOAP message invalid. If this isn't a concern, why not just write a messaging client that sends the text representation of the whole DOM as the SOAPBody and extract the whole thing on the other end with a messaging service?
