Question

i have create a web service to add two numbers using netbeans…and i am getting the following response

SOAP Response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <S:Body>
        <ns2:AddResponse xmlns:ns2="http://calculator.me.org/">
            <return>9</return>
        </ns2:AddResponse>
    </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

Bu i need to generate the soap response xml of the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<CalculatedValue>9</CalculatedValue>
<response>

my java code:

import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;

/**
 *
 * @author User
 */
@WebService(serviceName = "CalculatorWS")
@Stateless()
public class CalculatorWS {

    /**
     * This is a sample web service operation
     */
    @WebMethod(operationName = "hello")
    public String hello(@WebParam(name = "name") String txt) {
        return "<a>" + txt + "</a>";
    }

    /**
     * Web service operation
     */
    @WebMethod(operationName = "Add")
    public int Add(@WebParam(name = "i") int i, @WebParam(name = "j") int j) {
        //TODO write your implementation code here:
        int k=i+j;
        return k;

    }
}

wsdl:

i searched a lot on this….but didn’t get any answer.I found a similar post in stackoverflow with no correct answer.How to generate that particular soap response using the web-service?

Answer 1

It’s not possible to get a reply like the one you posted. By definition a SOAP document (or message) must contain an Envelope and at least the Body element. See more in the SOAP specification.

Your only control is over the contents of the Body element, by specifying the operation style to be RPC (remote procedure call) or document (plain XML).
