AFAIK this is the normal behaviour for each parser. BEcause it does not know if the text before the tag is relevant or not... so the parser just gives it to you.
If you have a DTD refference at the begining of your document and turn the parser validation on, you will not receive the text fields anymore. But i suppose you can't have a DTD reference at the begining of a soap xml so... This is the correct behavior of xml parsers... If somebody knows that I am wrong just say so, because I am pretty new to the parsing stuff and I hit the same wall once. And if we start talking about parsers, I do have one question: I have an xml with no DTD reference. But I want to validate the xml with some DTD that I have. How can I do that (without changing the xml, but just calling some methods of the parser, like setDTD(INputStream) ). I use Xerces, if this helps...
