My guess is that either you or WebSphere has added a type mapping to read the result, but has not done it correctly. It looks like a full type mapping has been provided, rather than the element name mapping required. It should be something like
StringDeserializer stringDser = new StringDeserializer(); smr.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC, new QName("", "Result"), String.class, null, stringDser); Note that the serializer is specified as null, indicating that this is just for mapping an element to a Java class through a particular deserializer.
