  • Article

A protocol client wants to add some custom information in the XML document to a site content type with identifier 0x0101. This can be done by using UpdateContentTypeXmlDocument operation.

The following is a sample request for UpdateContentTypeXmlDocument:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
     <UpdateContentTypeXmlDocument xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
       <contentTypeId>0x0101</contentTypeId>
       <newDocument>
         <customInfo xmlns="http://www.contoso.com/customInfo">Here is some custom information</customInfo>
       </newDocument>
     </UpdateContentTypeXmlDocument>
   </soap:Body>
 </soap:Envelope>

The following is a sample response for UpdateContentTypeXmlDocument:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
     <UpdateContentTypeXmlDocumentResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
       <UpdateContentTypeXmlDocumentResult>
         <Success/>
       </UpdateContentTypeXmlDocumentResult>
     </UpdateContentTypeXmlDocumentResponse>
   </soap:Body>
 </soap:Envelope>

After the custom information is added, the XML document of the site content type is specified as follows: 

 <XmlDocument NamespaceURI="http://www.contoso.com/customInfo">
   <customInfo xmlns="http://www.contoso.com/customInfo">Here is some custom information</customInfo>
 </XmlDocument>

The protocol client can delete the custom information by using RemoveContentTypeXmlDocument operation.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
     <RemoveContentTypeXmlDocument xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
       <contentTypeId>0x0101</contentTypeId>
       <documentUri>http://www.contoso.com/customInfo</documentUri>
     </RemoveContentTypeXmlDocument>
