org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement

[paritosh pandey]

Hi,
While parsing the webservice response I am getting org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement

I am using axis 1.5.1 version My WSDL, request and response Strings are as following
Request
"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soapenv:Body><ns1:doBillerRegistration xmlns:ns1="http://121.241.242.73:8101/wsBillerReg/services/WebServiceBillerRegistration"><in0>pin</in0><in1>pinelabs</in1><in2>000000000528</in2><in3>5632547895623|9920958120</in3><in4>KK|chirag test</in4><in5>N</in5></ns1:doBillerRegistration></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>"

Hi. I put your response XML in NewFile.xml. And I got this program (adapted from this) to read it:

import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

public class XMLReader {

	public static void main(String argv[]) {

		try {
			File file = new File("NewFile.xml");
			DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
			DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
			Document doc = db.parse(file);
			doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
			System.out.println("Root element "
					+ doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());
			NodeList nodeLst = doc.getElementsByTagName("SOAP-ENV:Envelope");

			for (int s = 0; s < nodeLst.getLength(); s++) {

				System.out.println("s is " + s);
				Node fstNode = nodeLst.item(s);

				if (fstNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

					Element fstElmnt = (Element) fstNode;
					System.out.println("text content is: " + fstElmnt.getTextContent());
				}

			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

When the text is this (from your original response xml):

pin<<>>pinelabs<<>>000000000528<<>>5632547895623|9920958120<<>>KK|chiragtest<<>>1000046394<<>>N<<>>F<<>>200024<<>>BILLER ALREADYPRESENT.<<>>

I get this error:
[Fatal Error] NewFile.xml:8:58: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source)
at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(Unknown Source)
at XMLReader.main(XMLReader.java:17)

But when I change the text to a regular string like "message", then it read the xml ok. So based on this, maybe the problem is with all the <<>> characters, because if I remove all of them, then the program works fine. Now, if the strange text were to be wrapped inside a CDATA tag like this, then it works fine:

<![CDATA[pin><<>>pinelabs<<>>000000000528<<>>5632547895623|9920958120<<>>KK|chiragtest<<>>1000046394<<>>N<<>>F<<>>200024<<>>BILLER ALREADYPRESENT.<<>>]]>

Hope that helps, though I am not so sure . If you have a resolution, kindly share it.
