Remove custom tags from web service response

I have created a simple web service using Java and axis 2. The output i am getting is as follows,

Input- http://localhost:8088/Newwww/services/NewFile/newFile?s=New%20data3

Output-

<ns:newFileResponse xmlns:ns="http://Services.tcs.com">
开发者_StackOverflow社区- <ns:return>
- <TestData>
  <testData1>New data1</testData1> 
  <testData2>New data2</testData2> 
  <testData3>New data3</testData3> 
  </TestData>
  </ns:return>
  </ns:newFileResponse>

How can i remove the tags starting with ns: In short i want the response to be only

<TestData>
  <testData1>New data1</testData1> 
  <testData2>New data2</testData2> 
  <testData3>New data3</testData3> 
  </TestData>

My WSDL file looks like this

Thanks..

There is no direct way to do this. There are two options.

1. Use the contract first approach[1].

There you need to modify the generated wsdl for suite for you or create a new one and generate the code for that using wsdl2java tool and deploy the service.

1. Use an ESB to do the transformation of the response.

Here you can create a proxy service in the ESB and do any transformation of the response at the out sequence[2].

[1] http://wso2.org/library/2873 [2] http://wso2.org/project/esb/java/4.0.0/docs/samples/message_mediation_samples.html#Sample8

Your WSDL reveals your use of one of the worst antipatterns with web services: Use of anyType. Your interface should define what kind of data is sent and accepted by other part - using anyType forces both sides of the interface to know the internals of the other side.

 <xs:element name="newFileResponse">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="return" nillable="true" type="xs:anyType" /> 
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>

And since you are defining "newFileResponse" (element) as the message part for "newFileResponse" (message), you will of course receive the newFileResponse element as the contents.

First of all: Get rid of anyType, define the testdate element in your interface.

Second: Rename your elements and messages so that they do not have same names - this is to improve the readability.

Third: Use something like the following for your messages

<wsdl:message name="newFileResponse">
  <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="ns:TestData" /> 
</wsdl:message>

By defining the TestData as your message part instead of the anyType-eating newFileResponse-element, you get rid of the obfuscating wrapper element and get to use the TestData type directly.
