Getting Raw XML From SOAPMessage in Java

Question

I ve set up a SOAP WebServiceProvider in JAX-WS  but I m having trouble figuring out how to get the raw XML from a SOAPMessage  or any Node  object   Here s a sample of the code I ve got right now  and where I m trying to grab the XML    WebServiceProvider wsdlLocation  SoapService wsdl    ServiceMode value Service Mode MESSAGE  public class SoapProvider implements Provider lt SOAPMessage gt        public SOAPMessage invoke SOAPMessage msg                   How do I get the raw XML here            Is there a simple way to get the XML of the original request   If there s a way to get the raw XML by setting up a different type of Provider  such as Source   I d be willing to do that  too

if you have the client code then you just need to add the following two lines to get the XML request response  Here  call is org apache axis client Call  String request    call getMessageContext   getRequestMessage   getSOAPPartAsString    String response    call getMessageContext   getResponseMessage   getSOAPPartAsString

It turns out that one can get the raw XML by using Provider lt Source   in this way   import java io ByteArrayOutputStream  import javax xml transform Source  import javax xml transform Transformer  import javax xml transform TransformerFactory  import javax xml transform stream StreamResult  import javax xml ws Provider  import javax xml ws Service  import javax xml ws ServiceMode  import javax xml ws WebServiceProvider    ServiceMode value Service Mode PAYLOAD   WebServiceProvider   public class SoapProvider implements Provider lt Source gt        public Source invoke Source msg                StreamResult sr   new StreamResult             ByteArrayOutputStream out   new ByteArrayOutputStream            sr setOutputStream out            try               Transformer trans   TransformerFactory newInstance   newTransformer                trans transform msg  sr                   Use out to your heart s desire                    catch  TransformerException e                e printStackTrace                           return msg            I ve ended up not needing this solution  so I haven t actually tried this code myself - it might need some tweaking to get right   But I know this is the right path to go down to get the raw XML from a web service    I m not sure how to make this work if you absolutely must have a SOAPMessage object  but then again  if you re going to be handling the raw XML anyways  why would you use a higher-level object

If you have a SOAPMessage or SOAPMessageContext  you can use a Transformer  by converting it to a Source via DOMSource               final SOAPMessage message   messageContext getMessage                final StringWriter sw   new StringWriter                 try                   TransformerFactory newInstance   newTransformer   transform                      new DOMSource message getSOAPPart                         new StreamResult sw                  catch  TransformerException e                    throw new RuntimeException e                                 Now you have the XML as a String              System out println sw toString       This will take the encoding into account  so your  special characters  won t get mangled

If you need formatting the xml string to xml  try this   String xmlStr    your-xml-string   Source xmlInput   new StreamSource new StringReader xmlStr    Transformer transformer   TransformerFactory newInstance   newTransformer    transformer setOutputProperty OutputKeys INDENT   yes    transformer setOutputProperty   http   xml apache org xslt indent-amount    2    transformer transform xmlInput          new StreamResult new FileOutputStream  response xml

Using Transformer Factory -  public static String printSoapMessage final SOAPMessage soapMessage  throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError              TransformerConfigurationException  SOAPException  TransformerException               final TransformerFactory transformerFactory   TransformerFactory newInstance            final Transformer transformer   transformerFactory newTransformer                Format it         transformer setOutputProperty OutputKeys INDENT   yes            transformer setOutputProperty   http   xml apache org xslt indent-amount    2             final Source soapContent   soapMessage getSOAPPart   getContent             final ByteArrayOutputStream streamOut   new ByteArrayOutputStream            final StreamResult result   new StreamResult streamOut           transformer transform soapContent  result            return streamOut toString

for just debugging purpose  use one line code -  msg writeTo System out

User · Answer

You could try in this way   SOAPMessage msg   messageContext getMessage    ByteArrayOutputStream out   new ByteArrayOutputStream    msg writeTo out   String strMsg   new String out toByteArray

It is pretty old thread but recently i had a similar issue  I was calling a downstream soap service  from a rest service  and I needed to return the xml response coming from the downstream server as is   So  i ended up adding a SoapMessageContext handler to get the XML response  Then i injected the response xml into servlet context as an attribute   public boolean handleMessage SOAPMessageContext context                    Get xml response             try                    ServletContext servletContext                             ServletRequestAttributes  RequestContextHolder getRequestAttributes    getRequest   getServletContext                     SOAPMessage msg   context getMessage                     ByteArrayOutputStream out   new ByteArrayOutputStream                    msg writeTo out                   String strMsg   new String out toByteArray                      servletContext setAttribute  responseXml   strMsg                    return true                catch  Exception e                    return false                            Then I have retrieved the xml response string in the service layer   ServletContext servletContext                     ServletRequestAttributes  RequestContextHolder getRequestAttributes    getRequest   getServletContext             String msg    String  servletContext getAttribute  responseXml      Didn t have chance to test it yet but this approach must be thread safe since it is using the servlet context

this works   final StringWriter sw   new StringWriter     try       TransformerFactory newInstance   newTransformer   transform          new DOMSource soapResponse getSOAPPart             new StreamResult sw      catch  TransformerException e        throw new RuntimeException e     System out println sw toString     return sw toString
