the reverse of SOAPMessage's writeTo(out) method

[Qingchun Guo]

Java's "SOAPMessage" class has a "writeTo" method, which writes a
SOAPMessage object into an outputStream, like this:

SOAPMessage mySoapMessage = ...;
mySoapMessage.writeTo(OutputStream out);

What if I want to do the reverse? That is, suppose I have an
inputStream which contains a SOAPMessage object, how do I read the
data from this inputStream and construct a SOAPMessage object? Is
there a "readFrom" method that works in the following way?

SOAPMessage mySoapMessage = SOAPMessage.readFrom(InputStream in)

Thanks.

There are two possibilities:

(1) SOAPPart implements org.w3c.dom.Document, so you can use any DOM API
on it.

(2) Use a transform:

SOAPPart.setContent(javax.xml.transform.Source source).
