Full SOAP message as XML

[PierreDel]

Hello,

Could somebody please post a reference to or copy & paste here an example of an endpoint that takes a full SOAP request message as input and full SOAP response message as output?

I know how to handle the XML but I'm confused about the SWS specifics.

I've browsed through the "documentation" and I couldn't find any simple example of that.

Thanks

Can you explain what you're trying to achieve?
I you want access to the various SOAP specific elements of the request and the response, you can in a MessageEndpoint or an EndpointInterceptor (depends on what you want to do), get the request/response from the MessageContext and cast it to a SoapMessage (assuming you're using SOAP) and then get end interact with the SOAP envelope/header/body.
Is that what you need?

Thanks for the quick reply tareq. Form what I could see in the doc yes MessageEndpoint with MessageContext is what would be the easier to use. Are there any example out there of these? And yes in this case I use SOAP.

So more concrete questions:
The invoke method in MessageEndpoint is void: how do I send the response?
What's the shortest way (or any way) to go from MessageContext to raw XML and back from raw XML to the response?

Thanks

PS: I'd rather manipulate my XML, receive, manipulate, send it and do as less as possible in the spring-ws-servlet.xml file

Using "AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint" seems to work, but unfortunately, the WSDL generated doesn't comport any operation.

package com.pwet.finance.stockquote.ws;

import org.springframework.oxm.Marshaller;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint;
import org.springframework.util.xml.DomUtils;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.AbstractDomPayloadEndpoint;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint;


import com.pwet.data.generic.*;

public class GenericEndpointMarshalled extends AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint {


	public GenericEndpointMarshalled(){}
	
	public GenericEndpointMarshalled(Marshaller marshaller) {
        super(marshaller);
    }
	
	protected Object invokeInternal(Object request) throws Exception {
		
		MessageDocument requestDoc = (MessageDocument)request;
		
		//Here do stuff with request
		
        return requestDoc;
	}
}
