Parsing SOAP Envelope

[feda alshahwan]

I implemented a small program to parse a SOAP message but I got the following error:

Error in parsing: name expected (position:START_TAG <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV='http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap- envelope' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>@1:175 in java.io.StringReader@c17164)
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)

Could you please guide me to solve my problem?

Hi!
Would it be possible to see the entire SOAP message?
Also note that in Eclipse, the XML editor has a Validate option, which enables you to validate an XML document. If you insert the SOAP message that causes the error in your program there, you can check whether it is correct or not and, if it is not, hopefully get a hint about what the problems is.
Best regards!

The code is as follows. Thanks in advance:

    package parsingsteps;
import java.io.*;
import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.kxml2.io.KXmlParser;
import org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException;
public class ParsingSteps {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        try{
       String msg = "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope " + "xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap- envelope\" " + "xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" " +"xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\"& gt;" +
         "><SOAP-ENV:Body>" +
         "<result>" +
         "<message xsi:type=\"xsd:string\">Hello World</message>" +
         "</result>" +
         "</SOAP-ENV:Body>" +
         "</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>";
        KXmlParser parser=new KXmlParser();
        parser.setInput((Reader)new StringReader(msg));
        SoapEnvelope soapenvelope= new SoapEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER12);
        soapenvelope.parseBody(parser);
          }
        catch (IOException e) {
               System.out.println("Error reading URI: " + e.getMessage());
        } catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
              System.out.println("Error in parsing: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Hi!
It seems like there was an error in the SOAP message. I wrote a program reading your SOAP message using StAX:

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

import javax.xml.stream.FactoryConfigurationError;
import javax.xml.stream.XMLEventReader;
import javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory;
import javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException;

public class SOAPParsing
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        XMLEventReader theReader = null;
        String theSOAPMsg =
            "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope "
                + "xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope\" "
                + "xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" "
                + "xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\">"
                + "<SOAP-ENV:Body>" + "<result>"
                + "<message xsi:type=\"xsd:string\">Hello World</message>"
                + "</result>" + "</SOAP-ENV:Body>" + "</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>";

        try
        {
            XMLInputFactory theInputFactory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
            theReader = theInputFactory.createXMLEventReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(
                theSOAPMsg.getBytes()));
            
            while (theReader.hasNext())
            {
                System.out.println(theReader.next());
            }
        } catch (FactoryConfigurationError theException)
        {
            theException.printStackTrace();
        } catch (XMLStreamException theException)
        {
            theException.printStackTrace();
        } finally
        {
            if (theReader != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    theReader.close();
                } catch (XMLStreamException theException)
                {
                    // Ignore exceptions
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Best wishes!

Thanks
