To get text value, or any other object value for that matter, use
getObjectValue() function.
It will attempt to auto detect, and return to you the object of type this
node maps to.
If you do not have an "xsi:type" attribute in the element you can do 2
things.
1) Set the type of the element then get its value. WARNING: When you re
serialize this element, it will contain the type attribute. Resulting object
reference will be cached by the element (additional calls are free).
myNode.setType(Constants.SOAP_STRING);
String result=(String)myNode.getObjectValue();
2) Do a clean deserialization of the node to a passed type. This WILL NOT
CACHE the result. This is a bad call to do on the same node more than 1
time.
String result=(String)myNode.getValueAsType(Constants.SOAP_STRING);
