OK Thanks. But is the <ns:return> element part of standard SOAP message format?
E.g. <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";> <soapenv:Body> <ns:GetCapabilitiesResponse xmlns:ns="http://stfc.ac.uk";> <ns:return> ..</ns:return> If it isn't, there should be a way to remove it without using another service layer on top of Axis Regards Arif From: keith chapman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 February 2009 09:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Axis2 SOAP XML response question If you need to put it as XML, you will have to wrap it in a CDATA element.

Does that mean there is no other way to display XML as XML rather than text literals, even if I don't want to change the format of the SOAP response. Regards Arif From: keith chapman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 February 2009 03:54 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Axis2 SOAP XML response question Well you could do this by doing a contract first web service. It looks like you are using the POJO approach and when u do that you have to live with the schema that Axis2 would give you. Alternatively you could just stick an ESB in front and run the response through an XSLT and format it to the manner you require. This could be done in a single server if you use the WSO2 Web Services Application Server [1] (This is a Web Services runtime environment built on top of Axis2 and its available under the Apache License).

Any idea how I can get AXIS not to display XML tags as literals? Many thanks for your help.
