Hello everyone..

I have successfully used SOAP to make a telephone directory Web service.

Right now I am returning "String" as return type from my Web service method
back to the client and my client displays the string in HTML based browser.

I was wondering if there is a way by which I can return the "XML" response
(or
XML return type) from SOAP web service method
to client code which will parse the XML to produce Stylesheet-based tabular
output.

Here's the section of code from my SOAP method, I was trying to play with:

/*** variable declaration***/
String mainStr;
.....
.....

/*** assigning initial value to mainStr****/

mainStr = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?> ";
.......
......
..
/*** creation of recordset based on some SQL query *******/

while (rs.next())
{
                                firstn = rs.getString(1);
                             lastn = rs.getString(2);
                          phone = rs.getString(3);
                             pager = rs.getString(5);
                             home = rs.getString(6);
                             count = count+1;

          /**** trying to create a XML string here which can then be
returned *****/

                          mainStr = mainStr + " <Employee_Info> <Firstname>
"+ firstn +" </Firstname><Lastname> "+lastn + " </Lastname> "+" <Extension>
"+ phone +" </Extension> "+" <Pager> "+pager+" </Pager> "+ " <Home> "+ home
+" </Home></Employee_Info>" + "\n";
}
.......
......
/**** returning XML string *****/

return mainSTr;

Now when I am trying to return a string in the form of XML it is not
showing any XML tags at
web browser side.

I was wondering why my the string my client application recieves doesnot
see XML tags and
displays simple string showing firstname, lastname, phone,..etc

Thanks a lot in advance.
