Description

Hello,

To replace an old service, i have to add a new webservice (server side) to an API REST micro service.

One of the requirements is to maintain the old request format.

Problem: (..simplifying..)
One tag of the request is an xmlString that contains xml declaration in data like :
<gen: name><?xml version="1"?><root>...</root></gen: name>

 

Request:
<soapenv: Envelope xmlns: soapenv = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns: gen = "http://www.baeldung.com/springsoap/gen">
<soapenv: Header />
<soapenv: Body>
<gen: getCountryRequest>
<gen: name><?xml version = "1" ?> <root> ... </root></ gen: name>
</ gen: getCountryRequest>
</ soapenv: Body>
</ soapenv: Envelope>

gen: name = "abcdef" works successfully

gen: name = <? xml version = "1"?> gives error:
2020-09-20 14: 30: 42.086 ERROR 16016 — [nio-8080-exec-5] c.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap: SAAJ0511: Unable to create envelope from given source
ERROR: 'The processing instruction target matching "[xX] [mM] [lL]" is not allowed.'

Question: Is it possible to inform the XJC code generator to accept XML data in requests ?

Thanks
Paulo
