return type of an XML doc ?

[christopher justin]

I need to return a list of customer records from a database and preferrably 
that list be a XML document itself.  I understand the Bean Serialization 
when needing complex types, but has anyone had to return an XML document 
itself as a result ?

I am wondering the best approach for returning an XML document - is it 
concidered a complex type that I need to serialize some how, or is there 
underlying functionality in Axis that will simply allow me to return a 
Document type as a result?  I want to avoid SOAP attachements if at all 
possible.

Thanks for any ideas all...

chris
