Question

I have created a simple web service using Java and axis 2. The output i am getting is as follows,

Input-
http://localhost:8088/Newwww/services/NewFile/newFile?s=New%20data3

Output-

<ns:newFileResponse xmlns:ns="http://Services.tcs.com">
- <ns:return>
- <TestData>
  <testData1>New data1</testData1> 
  <testData2>New data2</testData2> 
  <testData3>New data3</testData3> 
  </TestData>
  </ns:return>
  </ns:newFileResponse>

How can i remove the tags starting with ns:
In short i want the response to be only

<TestData>
  <testData1>New data1</testData1> 
  <testData2>New data2</testData2> 
  <testData3>New data3</testData3> 
  </TestData>

My WSDL file looks like this

Answer 1

There is no direct way to do this. There are two options.

1. Use the contract first approach[1].

There you need to modify the generated wsdl for suite for you or create a new one and generate the code for that using wsdl2java tool and deploy the service.

1. Use an ESB to do the transformation of the response.

Here you can create a proxy service in the ESB and do any transformation of the response at the out sequence[2].
