WebService Response in the form of XML string

[sureshkumar settu]

Hi,
I am working in websphere web services. I have to get webservice response in the form of XML string instead of java object. because i do some validation on the raw XML.

Now i am receiving response as an JAVA object but i want as a string. I can convert response object into XML but i don't want that because it will take lot of time. Web service internally convert from xml to object and again i will convert from object to xml. again i have to do validation on that.

Is there any possible solution to stop webservice convert from XML to object?
Is it possible to get a string as webservice response?

Thanks,
suresh

There is no generic rule here - it is entirely up to the designer of the web service what it returns. Surely you can find some documentation on this service.

i am creating web service client to consume the service. I am getting an object as response from that web service provider. but i want raw XML string. As we already know in the handler i can able to print entire XML string. but i want in the web service client code.

if i use SAAJ then i can able to get SOAPMessage from that i can extract the raw XML in the web service client code.

I want to know can we able to get as a raw XML in the client code using JAX-RPC or JAX-WS?

Please share if you have any documentation on this.

Thanks,
