Printing a SOAP response

Jul 19th, 2009

How do you print a SOAP response? I have been trying to do the following but its not printing the actual soap message. Its just giving me some sort of description.

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

SOAPMessage reply = connection.call(message, destination);
String myreply = reply.getSOAPPart().getContent().toString();

Try writeTo method of the SOAPMessage abstract class:
message.writeTo(System.out);

I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.

Thanks for the quick response. The problem I was having using the WriteTo method is I need to store the SOAP message in a string to output to a JTextArea. Is there an easy way to do this? Sorry I am still new to java.

There are two ways:
- You can either call the getSOAPBody() and getSOAPHeader() methods and manually construct the entire pretty-printed SOAP message
- Use the ByteArrayOutputStream class instance and pass it to the writeTo() method. Retrieve the resulting string using the getString() method or use new String(outputStream.getBytes(), "UTF-8") in case you are using a specific encoding.
