a simple webservices question....

[Milsnips]

hi there,

i have a webservice that makes a call to database and returns the results as
a dataset.
If for some reason the function that gets the data encounters an error, i
return Nothing, otherwise i return the DataSet.
The XML output is then formatted as nil=True, i guess by default.

If this occuers, is it possible for me to return a string message in a
string XmlElement, instead of this nil=true thing?

thanks,
P.
