Hello:

I'm using AXIS to create a SOAP Envelope. I can successfully send
this request to the web service and get a response back. But now,
I
want to write the response to file. How is this done?

What form do you have the response in? If it's XML, you can use a
java.xml.transform.Transformer to turn it into a byte stream and
write those bytes to a file. (Use a StreamResult constructed from
a
File or a FileOutputStream.)

The response is in an AXIS SOAPEnvelope object. Let me look at any
other return values that an axis.client.Call will return. I'll also
try the Transformer class

The Transformer constructor takes an XML source and a result. Well,
it doesn't recognize the SOAPEnvelope as an XML source.

SOAPEnvelope extends org.w3c.dom.Node, so this should work fine.

It goes something like (I'm not going to compile this, so watch out
for typos)

    import java.xml.transform.*;
    import java.xml.transform.dom.*;
    import java.xml.transform.stream.*;

    Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
    transformer.transform(
        new DOMSource(envelope),
        new StreamResult(new File(fileName)));
