If you use Axis2 for the above case you dont need to edit your WSDL. In this case you can provide an OMElement as the request. This is the simplest way to create an OMElemet.
String str = "<echo><echoString>XML echo string</echoString></echo>"; StAXOMBuilder staxOMBuilder = new StAXOMBuilder(new ByteArrayInputStream(str.getBytes())); OMElement element = staxOMBuilder.getDocumentElement(); If you generate a stub for this WSDL using Axis2 the dataType of request will be an OMElement too.
