SOAP - Axis2 response message (multiple part) element "XML withinXML"

[milesd]

Hello,

I have just started implementing an Axis2 SOAP implementation which
has a response message which has multiple elements. One of the
elements is an XML stream. I didn't realise (rather naively that the
type="string" would result in encoding "<" becoming &LT (and
equivilent for >). I would like the XML "response element" to remain
intact:

------
<element name="XML response" type="string"/>

<complexType name="POType">
<all>
<element name="id" type="string/>
<element name="name" type="string"/>
[snip]
</all>
</complexType>
------



** How do I specify a <element name="name" type="XML"/> ?
** How do I "grab this nested XML" in an XSLT ?

Thank you, cheers

Miles.

Back up a bit. What are you trying to do? If it's to send an XML
docuiment across the wire, this is fine. Axis will generate you an
accessor which returns String, and it will return a String that's
well-formed XML (i.e, what's transported as &LT; will have become <
again.) You can then parse that string with no problems.

I written a web service which queries a SOLR search engine returning
the SOLR result as UTF-8 encoded XML. This XML is returned as an
element of the SOAP XML response message, with a type of string.

The XML < and > tags of the SOLR results are being encoded as &lt and
&gt.

Is there a SOAP response element data type which will preserve the XML
of the SOLR result ?
