RE: Send XML file via SOAP

[Roumeliotis, Pete]

Could you just return the entire xml document as a string?

It is more specific  :-)

My question is - how to send my own XML files.

I know how to do RPCs with simple datatypes like this:

            Parameter ret = resp.getReturnValue();
            Object val = ret.getValue();

            int res = ((Integer) val).intValue();

But what to do if I want to get XML files:

            Parameter ret = resp.getReturnValue();
            Object val = ret.getValue();

            XMLFILE res = (XMLFILE) val;

            What should I write instead of XMLFILE ?   Or should I use
different API ?

    public int getNumberOfUsers() throws MalformedURLException,SOAPException
    {
        if (!isURLValid) throw new MalformedURLException();
        Call call = new Call();
        call.setTargetObjectURI(SOAP_URN);
        call.setMethodName("getNumberOfUsers");
        call.setParams(new Vector());

        Response resp = call.invoke(this.rpcrouter,"");

        if (!resp.generatedFault())
        {
            Parameter ret = resp.getReturnValue();
            Object val = ret.getValue();

            int res = ((Integer) val).intValue();
            return res;
        } else
        {
            Fault fault = resp.getFault();
            throw new
SOAPException(fault.getFaultCode(),fault.getFaultString());
        }
    }
