I am new to SOAP , I want to call web service .
I have seen a tutorial for making soap request .
This is the Code
MessageFactory mf = null; SOAPMessage sm = null; SOAPEnvelope envelope = null; MimeHeaders headers = null; SOAPBody body = null; SOAPElement requestData = null; SOAPElement requestDoc = null; CDATASection cdata = null; SOAPConnectionFactory sfc = null; SOAPConnection connection = null; URL requestUrl = null; SOAPMessage response = null; OutputStream os = null; String host = null; int port = 80; String path = null; String api_key = null; int socket_timeout = 0; String service_type = null; String baseXml = null; try { xmlChannelRequest = createChannelRequest(cmId, function, guId, password, estabId); mf = MessageFactory.newInstance(); sm = mf.createMessage(); envelope = sm.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope(); envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"); envelope.setPrefix("soapenv"); envelope.setAttribute("xmlns:tem", "http://tempuri.org/"); headers = sm.getMimeHeaders(); headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", "http://tempuri.org/IPublicChannelManagerService/RequestData"); body = envelope.getBody(); body.setPrefix("soapenv"); requestData = body.addChildElement("RequestData"); requestData.setPrefix("tem"); requestDoc = requestData.addChildElement("requestDocument", "tem", "http://tempuri.org/"); cdata = requestDoc.getOwnerDocument().createCDATASection("<Request>\n" + " <Authentication CMId=\"6438\" Function=\"31\" Guid=\"5594FB83-F4D4-431F-B3C5-EA6D7ASDSBA795\" Password=\"y656g321TR\"/>\n" + " <Establishment Id=\"297867\"/>\n" + " </Request>"); requestDoc.appendChild(cdata); System.out.println("---------------- SOAP Request ----------------------------"); sm.writeTo(System.out); sfc = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance(); connection = sfc.createConnection(); requestUrl = new URL("http://pp.xxx.yyyy.co.uk/zzzz.svc?wsdl"); response = connection.call(sm, requestUrl); This is working fine. My question is , is there any easy way , just like passing object to method and it creates , SOAP request .
ex : Just like JaxB , i will send a Bean , it will generate xml.
outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller(); marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true); marshaller.marshal(beanObject, outputStream);
