This is quite easy to setup and can be done using RPC style calls. The service needs to be of type document literal and be deployed like so:
<service name="XXService" provider="java:RPC" style="document" use="literal"> You need to build the service from the WDSL up, because you need to add a schema to validate the XML you intend to pass into the payload. The schema then maps to complex types/request/reponse parts etc etc which allow you to invoke and use the service as if it was a normal RPC service. Once you have you WSDL built, run wsdl2java, add in the implementation and your done.

The literal XML needs to remain in the response so an application located between the client and server can run XML schema-based content inspection. I would prefer to use RPC based style. It seems that if I return the XML as a string all of the < and > characters get replaced. If I try to insert the XML directly into the body the client deserializer does not understand the XML in the response and exits. Is there any way to stop the replacement of the < and > characters? Is there any way to coerce the deserializer to ignore the inserted XML body data? Or even better is there a way to have the deserializer pull the data out and export it to a file? I would welcome any suggestion or pointer of where to get started.
