I've created a web service using Spring-WS.
To maintain compatibility with the old system, I need to change namespace prefix from SOAP-ENV
to soap
.
I know that SOAP-ENV
and soap
are just namespace prefixes.
As long as they refer to the correct namespace ("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
), it should be fine.
But the old system hard coded the parser code to expect only soap
namespace prefix.
Current response:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
...
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Expected response:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body>
...
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Here's what I've tried so far
Create
EndpointInterceptorAdapter
subclass. This will intercept SOAP response/fault and alter the SOAP envelope. This works, but it's not ideal in terms of performance.public class CustomEndpointInterceptor extends EndpointInterceptorAdapter { private static final String DEFAULT_NS = "xmlns:SOAP-ENV"; private static final String SOAP_ENV_NAMESPACE = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; private static final String PREFERRED_PREFIX = "soap"; private static final String HEADER_LOCAL_NAME = "Header"; private static final String BODY_LOCAL_NAME = "Body"; private static final String FAULT_LOCAL_NAME = "Fault"; @Override public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext messageContext, Object endpoint) throws Exception { SaajSoapMessage soapResponse = (SaajSoapMessage) messageContext.getResponse(); alterSoapEnvelope(soapResponse); return super.handleResponse(messageContext, endpoint); } @Override public boolean handleFault(MessageContext messageContext, Object endpoint) throws Exception { SaajSoapMessage soapResponse = (SaajSoapMessage) messageContext.getResponse(); alterSoapEnvelope(soapResponse); return super.handleFault(messageContext, endpoint); } private void alterSoapEnvelope(SaajSoapMessage soapResponse) { Document doc = soapResponse.getDocument(); Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement(); rootElement.setPrefix(PREFERRED_PREFIX); // Remove default SOAP namespace rootElement.removeAttribute(DEFAULT_NS); NodeList headerNodes = doc.getElementsByTagNameNS(SOAP_ENV_NAMESPACE, HEADER_LOCAL_NAME); NodeList bodyNodes = doc.getElementsByTagNameNS(SOAP_ENV_NAMESPACE, BODY_LOCAL_NAME); NodeList faultNodes = doc.getElementsByTagNameNS(SOAP_ENV_NAMESPACE, FAULT_LOCAL_NAME); // Remove Header node. if (headerNodes.getLength() != 0) { rootElement.removeChild(headerNodes.item(0)); } // Change Body's SOAP namespace prefix. if (bodyNodes.getLength() != 0) { Element bodyElement = (Element) bodyNodes.item(0); bodyElement.setPrefix(PREFERRED_PREFIX); } if (faultNodes.getLength() != 0) { Element faultElement = (Element) faultNodes.item(0); faultElement.setPrefix(PREFERRED_PREFIX); } } }
Change
package-info.java
in the package that contain WSDL generated classes. I've successfully done this with my company's namespace prefix, but it doesn't work forSOAP-ENV
prefix.@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://www.example.com/ns/2008/02/02/webservices/blah", xmlns = { @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://www.example.com/ns/2008/02/02/webservices/blah", prefix = ""), @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://schemas.example.com/ns/2007/10/blah", prefix = "ns2"), @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://example.com/ns/2007/23/05/blah/fundamental", prefix = "ns3"), @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/", prefix = "soap") // doesn't work }, elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED) package com.thomsonreuters.ts.ets.interdayws.soap.webservice;
Is there an ideal way to change SOAP-ENV
to soap
in Spring-WS?
By the way, here's the code that set this prefix. StroapElement.java
