Manoj Cheenath - Sample 31

Question

Manoj, if you're readying this, thanks for the sample code at your site.
The extremely short story: I need to implement a doc/literal web service, and I want access to my SOAP Header and Body as a DOM. I may have to this via a chain handler, but I was able to get very close using Sample 31.
So, in HelloWorldService, I added this method:
public Document helloDomV2(Document inDoc)
and it worked like a champ. I could dump both the input DOM, and the return DOM to System.out.println() without problem.
Now, if I change the WS to a doc style, by doing this:
* @wlws:webservice style="document"
public class HelloWorldService{
Things stop working. On the standard Weblogic test page, I get this message:
** Do not know how to create a sample instance for this part due to the following exception:java.lang.InstantiationException: org.w3c.dom.Document. Pls replace this with the correct XML before invoking the service.**
and if I invoke the web service, I get the following SOAP exception:
<env:Fault>
<faultcode>Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>Unable to find a matching Operation for this remote invocation <foo>
</foo>. Please check your operation name. </faultstring>
</env:Fault>
Is there a way to combine a Document based web service, with a org.w3c.Document data type?

Answer 1

Interesting! I am looking at this example too. Is there any compelling reason to change the service into document oriented since it meets the needs to send/receive xml test?
Thanks,
