FYI, if you *do* want or need to return XML, there is one way to make it at least a little less painful: the JavaScript implementation of Commons Digester JSDigester:
http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net/javadocs/javawebparts/taglib/jstags/JSDigesterTag.html Full-blown example can be seen in the Java Web Parts example app: http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net It doesn't have all the features of it's big brother, but it's more than useful as-is... I used it extensively one project ago to consume some Web Services, worked like a charm. I do happen to agree though, I try to dissuade people from using XML when doing AJAX as well for performance reasons if nothing else, but there are certainly valid reasons to use it, and if you have to, JSDigester can make life a good deal better.
