Subject: Using Xerces to parse a SOAP response
Does anyone know of an example or how to use the response from a SOAP
request in a Java client to build a Xerces object? What I would like to do
is parse the XML returned from the SOAP service. The response object allows
you to get a Parameter Object. The Parameter.getValue() method returns an
Object. When using a simple SOAP method which only returns one piece of
data I just displayed that Object as a String and that worked fine. Now I'm
trying to parse the data returned when there is complex XML returned by the
SOAP service. Can this Object be used to build a Reader(or XMLReader or
however Xerces specifically works) which will allow me to select nodes using
Xerces?
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Even a link to some
examples of using the response from in a Java client using the Apache
packages to build a DOM document or something similar would be great.
Thanks.
