Looks like you're using a mixture of RPC and doc/literal? You might have a
very good reason for doing this, but "normal" doc/literal should look more
like this (with your data as a nested XML document, rather than a "String"
RPC argument):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<soapenv:Body>
<getListResponse xmlns="">
<getListReturn>
<ROOT>
<RECORD>
<id>1</id><id>1</id>
..etc..
</RECORD>
</ROOT>
</getListReturn>
</getListResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
This can be done by creating a web service that has a "getListResponse"
bean object (I recommend writing your WSDL first and getting Axis to
generate the beans for you), or by using the Axis message style which gives
you access to the raw XML (see user guide for more details).
Note that your encoded document goes a bit wrong around the first closing
"contacted" tag:
<contactid>20</contactid&id>1</id>
is
<contacted>20</contactid&id>1</id>
which isn't valid XML and may have been caused by repeatedly encoding the
String parameter?

I use document/literal sytle
looking at the soap using tcpmon it looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<soapenv:Body>
<getListResponse xmlns="">
<getListReturn><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT><RECORD><id>1</id><id>1</id><contactid>20</contactid&id>1</id><contactid>29</contactid><emailcount>2</emailcount><emailaddress>[EMAIL
PROTECTED]</emailaddress></RECORD></ROOT>
]]></getListReturn>
</getListResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
but when i retutn the result using call.invoke the xml is well formed
