  • In this tip, author and developer Nicholas Chase shows you how to use the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) to simplify the process of creating and sending SOAP messages.

    <!--START RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE INCLUDE FILES--><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- if (document.referrer&&document.referrer!="") {   // document.write(document.referrer);  var q = document.referrer;  var engine = q;  var isG = engine.search(/google\.com/i);  var searchTerms;  //var searchTermsForDisplay;  if (isG != -1) {   var i = q.search(/q=/);  var q2 = q.substring(i+2);  var j = q2.search(/&/);  j = (j == -1)?q2.length:j;  searchTerms = q.substring(i+2,i+2+j);  if (searchTerms.length != 0) {  searchQuery(searchTerms);  document.write("<div id=\"contents\"></div>");  }  }  } //--> </script><!--END RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE INCLUDE FILES--> 

    The foundation of Web services lies in the sending and receiving of   messages in a standard format so that all systems can understand them.   Typically, that format is SOAP. A SOAP   message can be generated and sent manually, but the SOAP with Attachments  API for Java (SAAJ) -- an offshoot of the Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) --  automates many of the required steps, such as creating   connections or creating and sending the actual messages. This tip   chronicles the creation and sending of a synchronous SOAP message.

      

    The process involves five steps:

     
     
    1. Creating a SOAP connection
     
    2. Creating a SOAP message
     
    3. Populating the message
     
    4. Sending the message
     
    5. Retrieving the reply
     
      

    SAAJ is available as part of the Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.2 (see Resources). This package also includes a copy of the Tomcat Web server (so you can host your own service) and sample applications.
