Question

please help me out for the below problem, i am trying since long time(3 weeks) but not able to get the proper resolution.I have to complete it ASAP ,as my so many webservice output depends on the custom return string.

I have written java code using javax.jws.

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebResult;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Use;

    String returnStr = null;

    String responseCodeStart = "<responseCode>";
    String responseCodeEnd = "</responseCode>";
    String responseMessageStart = "<responseMessage>";
    String responseMessageEnd = "</responseMessage>";

Return Custom String in JAVA to SOAP response/Output String :::::::::

 returnStr = "\r\n" + responseCodeStart + "1000" + responseCodeEnd + "\r\n" + responseMessageStart + "Registration successful>>" + responseMessageEnd + "\r\n";

Problem :

1)  I am getting (&lt;) tag instead of (<)
2) I am getting ([CDATA[[) tag in response.

SOAP RESPONSE :

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Body>
      <ns2:registerUserResponse xmlns:ns2="http://impl.timecapsule.com/">
         <return>&lt;responseCode>1102&lt;/responseCode>
&lt;responseMessage> [!CDATA[[Please provide username] &lt;/responseMessage></return>
      </ns2:registerUserResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

*Resolution needed:*

    1) < to remove
    2) CDATA to remove

I want to retrieve it as XML object instead of String using java code.


THANKS

Use a Framework, if you want to provide or consume a webservice via SOAP.
You don’t have to use any starting-tags or end-tags, the framework will handle this.

String responseCodeStart = "<responseCode>";
String responseCodeEnd = "</responseCode>";
String responseMessageStart = "<responseMessage>";
String responseMessageEnd = "</responseMessage>";

If you return a String (not a number inside a class), the encodings are correct. You return a String with special encoded Chars. They HAVE to be encoded this way. otherwise you will create malformed XML.
