Working with XML DOM's

[Vivek Nagulapati]

Hello All,

My apologies if this question has been asked before but I couldnt find any 
relevant solutions on this topic.

I am trying to develop a web service which returns an XML Dom tree which is 
of type Document. Some of the clients are implemented on .NET technologies. 
My question is, is there any way we could return a Document object directly 
without serializing it into a string? Would there be any compatibility 
issues if my client returns a Document object directly?

Here are my follow-up questions on this topic

1. Do we have to write custom serializers and deserializers or could we 
utilize any of the Axis
(de)serializers ?

2. Can anyone point me to snippets/references/tutorials showing how to 
return user-defined complex object types in Axis?

3. If a String array is passed over the wire, how is its information encoded 
into XML? What is the underlying mechanism in axis?

Thanks all for your patience and time!
