XMLStreamReader to InputStream

[Arundhathi Menon]

Hi,

My webservice call returns an XMLStreamReader. I would like to know how to extract just the string representation of the whole xml so that I can dump it in the DB for future processing.

I short , converting the XMLStreamReader's content into an outputstream is what I need.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance

Then you need an identity Transformer. When you call its transform(Source, Result) method the Source should be a StAXSource which wraps that XMLStreamReader, and the Result should be a StreamResult which wraps a StringWriter.
