Need help creating client for DOM/Message Based Webservice

[jrod79]

Hello all,

I am using Apache Axis and am trying to set up a document style (message based) webservice that will receive a DOM object, modify that DOM object, and return it as a new DOM object.

I have set up my webservice (a very simple one to get this going):
package testing.webservices;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.apache.axis.MessageContext;

public class DocTest{
public Document doSubmission(MessageContext msgContext, Document inDoc)throws Exception{
return inDoc;
}
}

I set this class up in Axis with my deploy.wsdd file:
<deployment name="test" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance">
<service name="DocService" style="java:MSG">
<parameter name="className" value="testing.webservices.DocTest" />
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="doSubmission" />
</service>
</deployment>

When I look at Axis it lists this DocService as an active service. Can anyone tell me what the client code would look like to send a Document object to my simple webservice and receive a document object back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: This is what I have so far:

import .....

public class DocTestClient{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String fileName = "C:\\Dev\\MyXmlFile.xml";
String uri = "file:" + new File(fileName).getAbsolutePath( );
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(uri);

String endpointURL = "http://localhost:8080/axis/services/DocService";
Service service = new Service();

Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endpointURL) );
call.setOperationName(new QName("http://testing.webservices", "doSubmission") );
-------------------------------------------------------------------
?????? WHAT DO I DO HERE to access the send the doc object and receive it back?????
-------------------------------------------------------------------
}
}

Hello all,

I needed to move on so I figured a work around to my issue. I ended up using RPC with strings of XML, which I then convert to a DOM object when I receive it. Works just as well.

Thanks anyways.
