Mr. Bear,
The misunderstanding comes from the fact that an XmlObject represents
the content of an element, attribute or document, as opposed to a DOM
node which contains the element/attribute itself (i.e. name + content).
This means that the code below will simplify to the following:
// this creates only the content of the request element, which
is in this case "request-attribute" and "request-element"
Request request = Request.Factory.newInstance();
request.setRequestElement(new
GDate(Calendar.getInstance()).toString());
request.setRequestAttribute("REQ123");
// create the soap envelope with body
EnvelopeDocument soapDoc =
EnvelopeDocument.Factory.newInstance();
Envelope soapEnv = soapDoc.addNewEnvelope();
Body soapBody = soapEnv.addNewBody();
// this creates the content of RequestDocument, which is the
"request" element
RequestDocument doc = RequestDocument.Factory.newInstance();
doc.setRequest(request); // this will make a copy
of the request
// this is what set() method does, sets the contents of the body
element
// this makes a copy of doc
soapBody.set(doc);
XmlOptions opts = new XmlOptions();
opts.setSavePrettyPrint();
soapDoc.save(System.out, opts);
And here is the output of my example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soapenv:Body>
<soap:request request-attribute="REQ123"
xmlns:soap="example/soap">
<soap:request-element>2006-12-07T09:21:01.359-06:00</soap:request-elemen
t>
</soap:request>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
To avoid making the additional copies as much as possible you need to
change the order of the content creation, the output will be the same.
// first create the envelope with body
EnvelopeDocument soapDoc =
EnvelopeDocument.Factory.newInstance();
Envelope soapEnv = soapDoc.addNewEnvelope();
Body soapBody = soapEnv.addNewBody();
// create the RequestDocument which contains an empty "request"
element
RequestDocument doc = RequestDocument.Factory.newInstance();
Request request = doc.addNewRequest();
// copy only the "request" element inside body
soapBody.set(doc);
// get the new reference to the contents of "request" element
// one can use selectPath or a cursor but this is simpler and
more performant
request = (Request)soapBody.selectChildren("example/soap",
"request")[0];
// set the contents of the "request"
request.setRequestElement(new
GDate(Calendar.getInstance()).toString());
request.setRequestAttribute("REQ123");
// save out the entire soap document
XmlOptions opts = new XmlOptions();
opts.setSavePrettyPrint();
soapDoc.save(System.out, opts);
I hope this example will clarify how XMLBeans represents xml content and
can be used to create instances of types that contain wildcards like the
type Body.

Subject: Outputing XML beans
Hi,
I eventually can insert one XML bean into another using cursor. But
still some question:
1. As experiment at point (A) and (B) below, it seems that XMLBean
inserts the child after the cursor, rather than at the cursor, so I have
to wrp it in a dummy doc or parent element. This also seems
contradicting to the tutorial/document. Any idea why this is the case?
2. Is there a simpler API method that insert an XmlObject? Something
like:
body.insert(XmlObject); // generated
cursor.insert(XmlObject); // cursor-based
Thanks
public class SOAPXBeanOutputTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
RequestType request = RequestType.Factory.newInstance();
request.setIssueInstant(Calendar.getInstance());
request.setRequestID ("REQ123");
AttributeQueryType query = request.addNewAttributeQuery();
SubjectType subject = SubjectType.Factory.newInstance();
NameIdentifierType nameId = subject.addNewNameIdentifier ();
nameId.setStringValue("NAME123");
query.setSubject((SubjectType)subject.copy());
EnvelopeDocument soapDoc =
EnvelopeDocument.Factory.newInstance();
Envelope soapEnv = soapDoc.addNewEnvelope();
Body soapBody = soapEnv.addNewBody();
XmlCursor cursor = soapBody.newCursor();
cursor.toNextToken();
// (A) if not wrapping in dummy doc/element, results in output
...<soapenv:Body><urn:AttributeQuery...
RequestDocument dummyDoc =
RequestDocument.Factory.newInstance();
dummyDoc.setRequest(request);
XmlCursor reqcursor = dummyDoc.newCursor(); // typs = STARTDOC
//reqcursor.toFirstChild(); // (B) this results in output
...<soapenv:Body><urn:AttributeQuery...
reqcursor.moveXmlContents(cursor);
reqcursor.dispose();
cursor.dispose();
soapDoc.save(System.out);
}
}
