Uncompleted SOAPElement by using Transformer.

[y103]

Hi.

I'm trying to convert javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement into String with javax.xml.transform.Transformer class.
However, I cannot get the complete XML document. The proceeded XML document by JBoss Transformer
was lacked some information.


[Development environment]
IDE: eclipse 3.1.1
SAAJ: JBoss 4.0.3SP1 (%JBOSS_HOME%/client)
J2SDK: 1.4.2_10 (Sun)
endorsed: Xerces & Xalan (%JBOSS_HOME%/lib/endorsed)

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.StringWriter;

import javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.MimeHeaders;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPPart;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

public class TestSoapWriter {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
 try {
 MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
 SOAPMessage msg = mf.createMessage(new MimeHeaders(),
 new FileInputStream("sample.xml"));
 SOAPPart sp = msg.getSOAPPart();
 SOAPBody sb = sp.getEnvelope().getBody();
 SOAPElement element = (SOAPElement) sb.getChildElements().next();

 TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();

 StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
 trans.transform(new DOMSource(element), new StreamResult(sw));

 System.out.println(sw);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }

}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <soapenv:Body>
 <ns1:Order xmlns:ns1="http://ws.sample">
 <Customer>Kermit</Customer>
 <Item>Ferrari</Item>
 </ns1:Order>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:Order xmlns:ns1="http://ws.sample"><Customer>Kermit</Customer>

The following part of XML document is lost by using JBoss Transformer.

"<Item>Ferrari</Item></ns1:Order>"

I tried it with SAAJ in axis1.2, and I can get the complete XML
document, no lack of information.

I am wondering if this is a JBoss issue....
Or are there any solutions to this?

I am appreciated any information to solve this issue!!

It is a known issue that the axis internal dom representation is broken beyond repair. You will have to use the propriatary axis API.

The new stack JBossWS, which will be part of the jboss-4.0.4 release should not have this problem

Any work arounds to get the entire String representation of the SOAPMessage for JBoss 4.0.2 ?
