How to send XML document from java client to .net webservice

[Alfred_O]

Greetings, I have implemented a Web service with .Net that receives a XML document as input parameter. I want to implement a java client that consumes the Web service (sending the XML document). The Wsdl of the web service uses "anyType" as the data type, and the java client uses "java.lang.object". I don't know how to send the XML document from the java client to the .Net Web Service. Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance

change the type in the wsdl into string and regenerate the webservice and the client and send the xml file as a string

Is it any xml document or is it a specific xml document with a specific schema?

If it has a known schema and you are actually using the contents of the xml file in your web service method you should change the parameter in the .net service to accept a type bound to the documents root element. This means unmarsheling the file in the java client before sending it. You can use XML Tools : DTD, XML schema and XML document conversion software tool : XML Utilities to create an XML Schema (xsd) to use with JAXB - XJC to generate object bindings.

On the other hand if it is just a file change the parameter to:

Code:

<xs:element xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime" name="parameterName" ns1:expectedContentTypes="application/xml" type="xs:base64Binary"></xs:element>

If i remember correctly the Java object would translate to byte[], but see what jaxws comes up with.

Once you have created your Port object in the java client do the following to enable MTOM

Code:

	BindingProvider bp = ((BindingProvider) port);
	SOAPBinding sb = ((SOAPBinding) bp.getBinding());
	sb.setMTOMEnabled(true);
	bp.getRequestContext().put(JAXWSProperties.MTOM_THRESHOLOD_VALUE, Integer.valueOf(XX));

XX is the size value at which binary data would be sent as a mime attachment. I usually set mine to 0.
