i'm creating a web service with a java.lang.Object parameter.
my question is as follows:
when a client calls the web service, how to i get the soap message object and convert it to soap message string using the parameter?

Here's some code from one of the Axis samples, this shows the basic process of making a call:
package samples.message;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.message.SOAPBodyElement;
import org.apache.axis.utils.Options;
import org.apache.axis.utils.XMLUtils;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Vector;
public class TestMsg {
public String doit(String[] args) throws Exception {
Options opts = new Options(args);
opts.setDefaultURL("http://localhost:8080/axis/services/MessageService");
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new URL(opts.getURL()) );
SOAPBodyElement[] input = new SOAPBodyElement[2];
input[0] = new SOAPBodyElement(XMLUtils.StringToElement("urn:foo",
"e1", "Hello"));
input[1] = new SOAPBodyElement(XMLUtils.StringToElement("urn:foo",
"e1", "World"));
Vector elems = (Vector) call.invoke( input );
SOAPBodyElement elem = null ;
Element e = null ;
elem = (SOAPBodyElement) elems.get(0);
e = elem.getAsDOM();
String str = "Res elem[0]=" + XMLUtils.ElementToString(e);
elem = (SOAPBodyElement) elems.get(1);
e = elem.getAsDOM();
str = str + "Res elem[1]=" + XMLUtils.ElementToString(e);
return( str );
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String res = (new TestMsg()).doit(args);
System.out.println(res);
