Re: Creating a SOAPElement instance from an XML file ??

A SOAPElement is a child of the SOAP envelope -- which must be either a
SOAPHeader or a SOAPBody. If you would like to send this element as all or
part of your application payload, it should be included in the SOAPBody. If
you are sending some type of control information, it should be included in
the SOAPHeader.

Alternately, you can send your document as a MIME attachment.

But what if I don't want to create the SOAPBody - just the SOAPElement? I
am trying to use a client that has been generated by wscompile/wsdeploy and
maps an custom XML type to a SOAPElement.

Thanks for your help,

Mark

Actually you don't need to create a SOAPElement. You can create a Document
and add it to SOAPBody with addDocument method.

I've got a purchase order file - po.xml. I want to create a SOAPElement
instance from it (SAAJ 1.2). I can use SOAPFactory to create a
SOAPElement - but it is an empty element, and I want to create one from my
file. It doesn't look like I can use DocumentBuilder.parse() to create a
SOAPElement either - it still just produces org.w3c.Element instances.

What is the best way to do this? Shouldn't there be a SOAPFactory method
with a signature like:

public SOAPElement createElement(javax.xml.transform.Source src) ???

Thanks,

Mark
