Hi,
I'm tring to pass a DOM document to a message-style web service in Axis.

I have deployed a service with the following signature:
    public Document myMethod(Document body)
 
  How can I invoke this service from client side? Actually, I cannot find something like "call.invoke(Document doc)".

I've try to use the following methods:

   "DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
   parser.parse("File:///c:/myfile.xml");
   Document doc=parser.getDocument();

   Document dom=(Document)call.invoke(new Object[]{doc});"
 
and I always got the error:
faultString: java.io.IOException: No serializer found for class org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl in registry org.apache.axis.encoding.TypeMappingImpl@5e13ad
 
 Anyone can help me figure it out? or should I set a proxy first?

 by the way, I'm using Axis 1.1 and Xerces parser.

 Thanks,
 Herman

The Axis engiine doesn't support serializer/deserializer for DOM Document object. You can either write your own and register it, or use an Element[] something like this:

public static Element[] getDoc() throws Exception {

  DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
  parser.parse("File:///c:/myfile.xml");
  Document doc=parser.getDocument();

  Element[] result = new Element[1];
  result[0] = doc.getDocumentElement();
  return result;
}

Thanks. It's helpful.
