Question

There’s a PHP SOAP webservice that needs to be fed with some objects that are created by my java service.

So, imagine I have something like this:

public class Foo {
    private String attribute;
    // getter/setter
}
...
   Foo foo = new Foo();

   foo.setAttribute("attr");
   String serializedFoo = getJsonSerializer().toJson(foo);

   // serialized foo {"attribute": "attr"}
   webService.addNewFoo(serializedFoo);
...

The problem is that the webservice is receiving the serialized foo like this:

{attribute: attr}

Sniffing my network I found that all my quotes are being scaped to quot;, like this.

{"attribute":"attr"}

Is there a way that I can avoid that? I would like to send my string wrapped with CDATA. I don’t want it to lose the quotes :/

I am using the

wsimport -keep -Xnocompile WSDL_LOCATION

to generate the client and manager for me to call the webservice. I am running the service in glassfish.

EDIT
I can’t change the receiving end. I understand it should be able to parse the escaped quotes, but unfortunately I am able only to change the serialization from my side.

Using CDATA is not the solution you are looking for. the " should work just fine for transmitting literal quote chars. something on the receiving end is not correctly parsing the xml.
