Struggling to create a Document out of xml string

Question

I am trying to parse a simple xml into a Document. I have already tried Jaxb but gave up( the file i need to unmarshall is quite complicated the output kept bombing with the soap exception "premature end of file") so I went down this route, only to find that it is impossible to get working. I have already see the other thread with a similar issue but the workaround suggested does not work. Here is my code;
try {
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
docFactory.setNamespaceAware(true); <-- these 2 lines done as per recommendation here http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6181020
docFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion", false); <;-- these 2 lines done as per recommendation here http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6181020
Document doc = docBuilder.parse("c:\\users\\ildsarria\\desktop\\test.xml");
System.out.println(doc.getDoctype() +"|"+ doc.getLocalName() +"|"+ doc.getDomConfig() +"|"+ doc.getLocalName());
} catch (ParserConfigurationException ex) {
System.err.println(ex.getStackTrace().toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getStackTrace().toString());
No exception is thrown and the output is always null :
null|null|[email protected]50|null
I have tried this in netbeans and eclipse, and also with different files, lastly using this one just to try get it to pass:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Personnel>
<Employee type="permanent">
<Name>Seagull</Name>
<Id>3674</Id>
<Age>34</Age>
</Employee>
<Employee type="contract">
<Name>Robin</Name>
<Id>3675</Id>
<Age>25</Age>
</Employee>
<Employee type="permanent">
<Name>Crow</Name>
<Id>3676</Id>
<Age>28</Age>
</Employee>
</Personnel>
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Answer 1

OK I have added the MTOM annotations and imported the package, and this allows my WS to deploy, however when i run it i get the java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException message ( see below)
import javax.xml.ws.soap.MTOM;
@MTOM
@WebService(name="Dfp",
            serviceName="DfpService",
            targetNamespace="")
@Stateless()
plublic class ..Part of the exception that I think is the clue :
...33 more Caused by: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException - with linked exception: [javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: Unable to create an instance of aem.adservices.dfp.ws.InputStream - with linked exception: [java.lang.InstantiationException]] at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.UnmarshallerImpl.handleStreamException(UnmarshallerImpl.java:425) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.UnmarshallerImpl.unmarshal0(UnmarshallerImpl.java:362) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.BridgeImpl.unmarshal(BridgeImpl.java:120) at com.sun.xml.bind.api.Bridge.unmarshal(Bridge.java:233) at com.sun.xml.ws.client.sei.ResponseBuilder$DocLit.readResponse(ResponseBuilder.java:547) at com.sun.xml.ws.client.sei.SyncMethodHandler.invoke(SyncMethodHandler.java:121) ...So I don't think it was enough to just include the annotations to be able to return the InputStream. Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
