So considering all SOAP does is to send an XML document over a network connection and receive a XML document as a response, it’s heavy weight, difficult to use and obfuscates so much that it is almost impossible to debug when things go wrong. Which is very often.

So does anyone know the following:

  • How to send a XML document (plain text) over the wire to an HTML SOAP service?


  • It strikes me that it would be easier to have a XML template document that can be filled out with relevant data (replace {NAME} with Adam) and then send this to the SOAP service.

    Rather than going through the mind-numbing and inefficient method of compiling WSDL files and then using Java objects to reconstruct the XML document to send. Boring and rubbish!

    Thanks for anyone's and everyone's help
