When using cursor to copy/move one XmlObject into another, the top-level element is missing. One has to wrap the bean into another bean before move/copy to target.
As experiment at point (A) and (B) below, it seems that XMLBean inserts the child after the cursor, rather than at the cursor, so I have to wrp it in a dummy doc or parent element. This also seems contradicting to the tutorial/document. The expected output is
...<soap:body><Request ...><AttributeQuery ...
public class SOAPXBeanOutputTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
RequestType request = RequestType.Factory.newInstance();
request.setIssueInstant(Calendar.getInstance());
request.setRequestID ("REQ123");
AttributeQueryType query = request.addNewAttributeQuery();
SubjectType subject = SubjectType.Factory.newInstance();
NameIdentifierType nameId = subject.addNewNameIdentifier ();
nameId.setStringValue("NAME123");
query.setSubject((SubjectType)subject.copy());
EnvelopeDocument soapDoc = EnvelopeDocument.Factory.newInstance();
Envelope soapEnv = soapDoc.addNewEnvelope();
Body soapBody = soapEnv.addNewBody();
XmlCursor cursor = soapBody.newCursor();
cursor.toNextToken();
// (A) if not wrapping in dummy doc/element, results in output ...<soapenv:Body><urn:AttributeQuery...
RequestDocument dummyDoc = RequestDocument.Factory.newInstance();
dummyDoc.setRequest(request);
XmlCursor reqcursor = dummyDoc.newCursor(); // typs = STARTDOC
//reqcursor.toFirstChild(); // (B) this results in output ...<soapenv:Body><urn:AttributeQuery...
reqcursor.moveXmlContents(cursor);
reqcursor.dispose();
cursor.dispose();
soapDoc.save(System.out);
}
}
