Hey, you did understand given you answered the question ! My synopsis of whatI read in your link refences:
3 ways to exchange XML documents under
J2EE as a service provider:
1st way: passing XML docs as attachments - good only for all java environments (both consumer & provider).
2nd way: for interoperability between languages (ie- better), design service endpoint so WSDL maps xsd:string as an XML document.
3rd way is exchange XML
doc as a "SOAP doc fragment". With this option, you map XML document to xsd:anyType in service's WSDL.
It is recommended that Web services exchange XML documents as
SOAP document fragments because passing XML documents like this is portable across J2EE and interoperable with all platforms.
Thanks!
Now I just need to see code examples which do options 2 & 3. The links you sent are informative as a doc but the "code example" links in the doc don't point to actual code. It would be a real bonus if I could see example of #3 while using axis WSDL generator & libs.
Anyway, I'm much further along !
