Is there a way I can send and return a xml document as a response from a web service method ? when I specify a document (dom4j) as response from method eg Document method() {... } then jboss will not deploy the ear. When I try to return a xml string eg String method() { ...} then all the < > characters get translated to '<' and '>'which is not acceptable ( even <![CDATA[ ... ]]> does not work ). Jboss version is 4.2.2GA. thanx randiz View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4160955#...
