I've been working on a service that uses document-style messaging to return an XML file as the body of the message: I parse the file into a Document and return that as the return value of the service (I'm using alpha 3: I know that in the nightly build I would be sending the root element as the first element of an array of Element objects).
This all works fine, but I'm wondering if there is some other way to do this. I mean: the file that I am sending already exists, so it seems like I should be able to read the file (as text) and put it directly into the SOAP message without going through the step of parsing it into a Document. But I can't see how to do this: it looks to me like Axis requires that I return a Document (or an array of Element objects) in this situation. Any ideas? Steven Gollery [EMAIL PROTECTED]
