Expecting response in XML format after invoking bea web service

Question

What should I do in order to receive the response from the web service in XML document
(i.e. a well-formed XML document) after invoking the web service via my client
application
(a servlet in my case)? I would like to validate the XML document against a schema
in my
servlet. I deployed my web service sucessfully and followed the WSDL web page
recommendation about creating a client. That is I used the generated stub (client
jar file
generated using clientgen) in my servlet. The result I received was a java object
and not in
XML document form.

Answer 1

If you do clientgen on a WSDL, it will generate
java types by default. You can trun this off by
setting autotype="false" in the clientgen ant task.
I have not tried it out, but i think this will use
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement instead of
generated java types. Then you can create a
DOM object from soap element.
Another option is to use DII with generic
typemapping. An example here:
