how to disable pretty printing soap messages with AXIS?

Hi All,

I was doing some interropability testing between .NET and AXIS. .NET is consumer and AXIS is provider which uses WSS4J for implementing digital signatures. When the consumer signs a soap message and when I try to verify the signature using WSS4J on the provider side I am getting an error like "digest value mismatch". I think the message when it is sent to the provider, it somehow got modified after it is signed and this causing signature verification failure error on the provider side. I am not sure how to solve this error. Does anybody have ideas for me here ....

Also, when if I use AXIS as either provider or consumer and generate soap messages and try to view them in tcpmonitor, I find that the message is formatted and getting displayed in tcpmonitor. Is it tcpmonitor formatting the messages or AXIS doing that? Even if I write a simple handler to print the soap messages using XMLUtils api from AXIS I see that a formatted message is printed. Can anybody clarify here? If AXIS is formatting the messages then I think the indentation added in the AXIS soap message might be causing for signature verification on the provider side and I have found that AXIS providers these 2 parameters

<parameter name="enableNamespacePrefixOptimization" value="false"/>
<parameter name="disablePrettyXML" value="true"/>

which can be used to disable pretty printing of XML. Now I dont know whether to configure these parameters on client side or provider side. Do we have to configure these parameters on provider side in server-config.wsdd?

Thank you for your time and reply.
