Can an org.w3c.dom.Document object be returned from an RPC style web service using a similar convention as below? Does RPC only support the use of objects to represent XML structures or can generic XML structures (encapsulated in DOM objects) be returned?

They have signatures as below. Read about it in the user guide. public Element [] method(Element [] bodies); public SOAPBodyElement [] method (SOAPBodyElement [] bodies); public Document method(Document body); public void method(SOAPEnvelope req, SOAPEnvelope resp); Regards, Dimutu. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cathal O' Riordan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 9:20 PM Subject: Returning XML document from Service call I'd like to return an XML document from my web service. I'm aware of the various issues associated with serialisation and de-serialisation of complex types and initially followed the Beanserialiser approach. However, I found that my XML document didn't follow a predictable format and couldn't be described as an object or set of objects. Is it possible to just return a raw XML document from an Axis service and how is this done? Regards, C.
