web services - how to send and receive soap messages in attribute name/value format? -

what needs set in web service soap messages sent , received in param attribute format? example, need send soap requests parameters in attribute name/value format:

<param name="controller_name">cpa central</param> 

and receive them in similar attribute name/value format:

<attribute name="channel_number">1</attribute> 

i've googled literally 14 hours , cannot find how it! appreciative if point me in right direction.

here's how ended doing it. seems ridiculous have intercept outgoing soap message , reformat it, rather creating in correct format begin with. if forced use magic black boxes jax-ws was, stuck auto-format provide apparently.

public class inneoquestlogicalhandler implements logicalhandler<logicalmessagecontext> {     private static logger logger = logger.getlogger(inneoquestsoaphandler.class);      @override     public boolean handlemessage(logicalmessagecontext context) {         boolean isresponse = (boolean)context.get(messagecontext.message_outbound_property);         if(!isresponse){             logger.debug("inneoquestlogicalhandler.handlemessage(): soap request");         }         else {             logger.debug("inneoquestlogicalhandler.handlemessage(): soap response");             try {                 try {                     transform(context);                 } catch (transformerconfigurationexception ex) {                     java.util.logging.logger.getlogger(inneoquestlogicalhandler.class.getname()).log(level.severe, null, ex);                 } catch (soapexception ex) {                     java.util.logging.logger.getlogger(inneoquestlogicalhandler.class.getname()).log(level.severe, null, ex);                 }             } catch (transformerexception ex) {                 java.util.logging.logger.getlogger(inneoquestlogicalhandler.class.getname()).log(level.severe, null, ex);             }         }     return true;     }      private void transform(logicalmessagecontext context) throws transformerconfigurationexception, transformerexception, soapexception {         logicalmessage msg = context.getmessage();         source source = msg.getpayload();         transformer xformer = transformerfactory.newinstance().newtransformer();         xformer.setoutputproperty("omit-xml-declaration", "yes");         domresult result = new domresult();         xformer.transform(source,result);         document doc = (document) result.getnode();         transformnodelist(doc,doc.getchildnodes());         source = new domsource(doc);         msg.setpayload(source);     }      private void transformnodelist(document doc, nodelist nodelist) {         (int i=0; i< nodelist.getlength(); i++) {             node childnode = nodelist.item(i);             if (childnode.getnodename().equals("channel_number")) {                 element elem = (element)childnode;                 doc.renamenode(elem, elem.getnamespaceuri(), "attribute");                 elem.setattribute("name", "channel_number");             }             else if (childnode.getnodename().equals("count")) {                 element elem = (element)childnode;                 doc.renamenode(elem, elem.getnamespaceuri(), "response");                 elem.setattribute("rows", elem.gettextcontent());                 elem.settextcontent("");                 elem.setattribute("type", "success");             }              nodelist children = childnode.getchildnodes();             if (children != null) {                 transformnodelist(doc,children);             }         }     }
