Java – soapmessage writeto without attachments

I use soapmessage Writeto (OutputStream) to record web service messages The problem is that it also writes attachments It takes up space and binary attachments are not readable Is there any way to record emails without attachments, such as wrapping paper?

There must be a better solution than this

ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
message.writeTo(out);
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(out.toString());

int indexOfAttachment = builder.indexOf("------=");
if (indexOfAttachment != -1) {
    return builder.substring(0,indexOfAttachment);
}

return builder.toString();

Sample message

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <S:Header />
    <S:Body>
        <ns2:wsGetObjectByIDResponse
            xmlns:ns2="http://xxx.com/"
            xmlns:ns3="http://yyy.com/">
            <return>
                <serviceResponse status="OK" />             
                <contentData formatName="jpeg_lres"
                    objectContent="cid:e677f02c-002a-4c2c-8fd9-a3acdba5ad11@example.jaxws.sun.com"
                    objectName="Smlouva1.jpg" />
            </return>
        </ns2:wsGetObjectByIDResponse>
    </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

Solution

In fact, there is a way to make it cleaner

This is my code:

// Get the Envelope Source 
Source src = message.getSOAPPart().getContent() ;

// Transform the Source into a StreamResult to get the XML
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"no");
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
transformer.transform(src,result);
String xmlString = result.getWriter().toString();

You can then record the xmlstring, which corresponds only to the envelope section
