OMElement

After playing around for hours trying to figure out how to get rid of the namespace on the element. eg.

Most examples have you creating an element like this:

OMElement method = factory.createOMElement("method", nameSpace);


After many hours, of not looking through the documentation, I found that if you do this.

OMElement method = factory.createOMElement("method", null);


You will get <method> instead of <x:method>

Lets Get Started

Well I have started this blog, as a way to store my adventures through SOAP with apache axis 2. Basically I want to talk to flickr's api's via soap, but this is proving to be a little more difficult than I first thought.

Anyway to get you all started, here as the links to Axis and the flickr api.

http://ws.apache.org/axis2/ The Apache Axis2 website.

I know I could use REST or XML-RPC to talk to flickr, but I wanted to do SOAP, only using axis2.

I also know that apache supports REST and XML-RPC.
