Java client trying to pass CRLF (hex 0D0A) in a simple SOAP body. ...

Hi all...

 

We have a situation where we're trying to pass a body with a single element,
whose value contains strings of CRLF's.   In this particular case, the
CRLF's are meaningful to the receiving service, so cannot be considered XML
white space or noise.    Ultimately, we need to deliver them "as is" to the
service at the other end, with decimal 013, followed by decimal 010, intact.


 

Developer is using wsdl2java to generate proxy classes to make the method
available and make the SOAP client call.     

 

It appears that somewhere during serialization, the CRLF's are ignored or
replaced and ultimately appear at the service as LF's only, as they might in
a pure FTP file transfer scenario.  Client happens to be a Windows
environment and server is running on BEA at a Linux server.   At one point
we believed that escaping the characters per XML as 
 would help,
but appears to only work if we can intercept the envelope after creation and
just before the send (we did this using a debugging tool, but haven't
determined a way to do this in the actual code).

 

Any thoughts or wisdom on how this might be accomplished are appreciated.
