Convert StreamResult to string or xml

Question

Using spring ws to get the StreamResult as below

StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new StringReader(MESSAGE)); StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out); webServiceTemplate.sendSourceAndReceiveToResult("http://someUri",                  source, new SoapActionCallback("someCallBack"), result);  return result; 

I get the result, But I want to extract it to some sort of xml or even as a string (Just want to see the contents in order to generate the response).

How can I do this?

Try this one:

try {     StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new StringReader("<xml>blabla</xml>"));     StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();     StreamResult result = new StreamResult(writer);     TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();     Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();     transformer.transform(source,result);     String strResult = writer.toString(); } catch (Exception e) {     e.printStackTrace(); }
