Hi,

I am trying to add a SOAP Web Service to an existing Web Application and am having a great deal of trouble since my WebApp already uses Saxon and my SOAP Web Service wants to use the Xalan built into the JRE. When trying to get this working I encounter the error:

Code:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown type of result: class javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult

I prototyped my SOAP web service as a standalone Web App and it worked fine. When trying to integrate it I encounter the problem. The transformer object I am being supplied with is a net.sf.saxon.IdentityTransformer when in my working prototype its of class: com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.Trans formerImpl. Since Saxon is a required dependency elsewhere in the application, removing it is not feasible, so is it possible to make the org.springframework.ws.wsdl support use Saxon? If so, how do I do this?

I have tried to create my own versions of WsdlDefinitionHandlerAdapter and MessageDispatcherServlet using code cut-and-pasted from the respective classes. I had limited success with this approach and am loathe to go further with it since it feels like a horrible hack.

Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can get my SOAP web service working? Even an explanation on how to force springframeworks wsdl to use Saxon would be a step forward.

Thanks,
Phil
