Hi Naresh, Right now I don't think there is a way you can get untouched stream, because Axis begins processing a SOAP message by parsing it using SAX and then it stores these SAX events. Then Axis work on these stored SAX events. So if you really, really want to do this - you have to start parsing before SAX parser is called.
So even when we use message style, practically what we get is already parsed XML in a DOM structure. Anyway this is a good question, because it's my personal belief that we should do something about this. Regards, Dimuthu. -- Lanka Software Foundation.
