ProcedureTo send SOAP messages using the JMS API

  1. Import the MessageTransformer library.

    import com.sun.messaging.xml.MessageTransformer;

    This is the utility whose methods you use to convert SOAP messages to JMS messages and the reverse. You can then send a JMS message containing a SOAP payload as if it were a normal JMS message.

  2. Initialize the TopicConnectionFactory, TopicConnection, TopicSession, and publisher.

    tcf = new TopicConnectionFactory();
    tc = tcf.createTopicConnection();
    session = tc.createTopicSession(false,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
    topic = session.createTopic(topicName);
    publisher = session.createPublisher(topic);
  3. Construct a SOAP message using the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ).

    *construct a default soap MessageFactory */
    MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
    /* Create a SOAP message object.*/
    SOAPMessage soapMessage = mf.createMessage();
    /** Get SOAP part.*/
    SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();
    /* Get SOAP envelope. */
    SOAPEnvelope soapEnvelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
    /* Get SOAP body.*/
    SOAPBody soapBody = soapEnvelope.getBody();
    /* Create a name object. with name space */
    /* http://www.sun.com/imq. */
    Name name = soapEnvelope.createName("HelloWorld", "hw",
     "http://www.sun.com/imq");
    * Add child element with the above name. */
    SOAPElement element = soapBody.addChildElement(name)
    /* Add another child element.*/
    element.addTextNode( "Welcome to Sun Java System Web Services." );
    /* Create an atachment with activation API.*/
    URL url = new URL ("http://java.sun.com/webservices/");
    DataHandler dh = new DataHandler (url);
    AttachmentPart ap = soapMessage.createAttachmentPart(dh);
    /*set content type/ID. */
    ap.setContentType("text/html");
    ap.setContentId("cid-001");
    /**  add the attachment to the SOAP message.*/
    soapMessage.addAttachmentPart(ap);
    soapMessage.saveChanges();
  4. Convert the SOAP message to a JMS message by calling the MessageTransformer.SOAPMessageintoJMSMessage() method.

    Message m = MessageTransformer.SOAPMessageIntoJMSMessage (soapMessage, 
    session );
  5. Publish the JMS message.

    publisher.publish(m);
  6. Close the JMS connection.

    tc.close();
