Peter,
thats why I asked you if your method returns a string as an XML
doc.....specificly our web service returns an XML doc as a STRING....SOAP
only knows the return parameter as a STRING....This allows me to do the
String returnvalue = ((String)ret.getValue());
Now return value contains the following...
"<person><firstname>yy</firstname><lastname>xx</lastname></person>"
**NOTE THE QUOTES....
Now return value looks like the document that I returned from my WebService
(ie the server) which assembles a document then writes it out to string and
returns the STRING to the client...now I can load up a DOM document with
that string and or Parse it with a SAX parser and load up a Java
object/bean etc...
(String)ret.getValue() does NOT return you the SOAP XML envelope
information and or payload...to do that you need to get into the Call
object...
