I didn't see anything in the API that jumped out at me. You could always use a replaceAll call to fix it after creating it with SAAJ.

It sucks that your clients are the kind of people that ask you to work around their inadequacies. I know how that is and its really frustrating. I feel for you.

Yeah..I don't know which I hate more, the fact they are too lazy to fix their own problems or our company for saying we'd work around it.

Anyway, do you have an example of the replaceAll? I didn't see it in the SAAJ API.

Thanks,

No, I meant String.replaceAll(). Of course you'll have to write it out to a String and write a simple regex. There may also be a way to change the namespace with DOM but I'm not going to delve into that right now.

Thanks..I thought you might be referring to that.. :(

I've been looking at DOM, I'm already jumping in and out of DOM to support some missing things in SAAJ. But I didn't see anything jump out to fix this problem.

I managed to change my SOAP-ENV but the problem then is that unless you declare the namespace in every tag it add a xmlns="" to the first non specified tag.
how I changed the SOAP-ENV is as follows


SOAPPart part = msg.getSOAPPart();
//get the envelope
SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
//add the soap declaration
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("soap","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
//remove the default SOAP-ENV
envelope.removeNamespaceDeclaration("SOAP-ENV");
//Set the prefix to soap instead of SOAP-ENV
envelope.setPrefix("soap");
