Question

I’m trying to modify SOAP body for an outbound ws client SOAP message, from an application which is deployed on JBoss 6.1.0. Final.
There is a registered HandlerResolver for that purpose, which has the following code:

public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext messagecontext) {
        Boolean outbound = (Boolean) messagecontext.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);
        if (outbound) {
            try {
                SOAPMessage soapMessage = messagecontext.getMessage();
                SOAPBody soapBody = soapMessage.getSOAPBody();

                Node firstChild = soapBody.getFirstChild();

                String timeStamp = getTimestamp();
                String signature = getSignature(firstChild.getLocalName(), timeStamp, secretBytes);

                SOAPFactory factory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
                SOAPElement signatureElement = factory.createElement("Signature");
                System.out.println(signature);
                signatureElement.addTextNode(signature);

                SOAPElement timestampElement = factory.createElement("Timestamp");
                timestampElement.addTextNode(timeStamp);

                firstChild.appendChild(signatureElement);
                firstChild.appendChild(timestampElement);                   

            } catch(SOAPException se) {
                throw new RuntimeException("SOAPException was thrown.", se);
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

However, it throws this exception:

17:59:35,527 WARN  [org.apache.cxf.jaxws.handler.HandlerChainInvoker] HANDLER_RAISED_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION: org.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ParentNode.internalInsertBefore(Unknown Source) [:1.6.0_27]
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ParentNode.insertBefore(Unknown Source) [:1.6.0_27]
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.NodeImpl.appendChild(Unknown Source) [:1.6.0_27]

for this line:

firstChild.appendChild(signatureElement);

This code worked fine with JBoss 5.1.0.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

The difference between Axis(used in JBoss 5.1) and Cxf(used in JBoss 6.1.0 as default) frameworks creates this problem. That’s why this code worked fine with JBoss 5.1.0.

Here is the solution.
