Can you use a Spring-WS WebserviceTemplate for calling a webservice and avoid that it

  • 0

Can you use a Spring-WS WebserviceTemplate for calling a webservice and avoid that it generates a SOAP-envelope? That is, the message already contains an SOAP-Envelope and I don’t want that the WebserviceTemplate wraps another one around it. 🙂

The reason I want this is that I’d like to call a webservice that uses ws-security and do not want to put the ws-security stuff into the WebserviceTemplate, but just want to feed it a message with pre-generated ws-security information in the SOAP-envelope. I tried calling the method sendSourceAndReceiveToResult with a Source already contains a Soap-Envelope with the WS-Security stuff and the webservice template wraps around another Soap-Envelope and thus destroys the message.

  1. You’re using ws-security in a strange way… I guess that you’re trying to avoid ws-security dependancy by using pre-generated messages – for simple client might make sense, although it’s definitely not by-the-book.

    You can configure WebServiceTemplate to use plain XML without SOAP by setting messageFactory on WebServiceTemplate to this bean:

    <bean id='webServiceTemplate' class='org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate'>     <property name='messageFactory' ref='poxMessageFactory' /> </bean>      <bean id='poxMessageFactory' class='org.springframework.ws.pox.dom.DomPoxMessageFactory' />
