RE: [CFCDev] XML Argument to Web Service

[Samuel Neff]

If you pass XML as a string to a web service you end up double-encoding the
XML, kinda like this:

<soap:Envelope>
  <soap:Body>
    <message>
      <argument>
        &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
        &lt;root&gt;
          &lt;child/&gt;
          &lt;child/&gt;
          &lt;child&gt;
            &lt;grandchild/&gt;
          &lt;/child&gt;
        &lt;/root&gt;
      </argument>
    </message>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Obviously SOAP isn't supposed to look like that.  If you want to work with
this data you have to parse it twice.. once to get the soap and a second
time to get the data (CFMX does the first parsing for us).

AFAIK, there is no way to pass XML as an argument to a web service.

Pass it in/out as type="string"
