Re: Passing XML in a RPC Parameter

Ryan,

        Try using Soap with Attachments (SwA) if you want to avoid encoding
XML documents and pass other types of documents as parameters. ebXML's
Messaging Service (www.ebxml.org) uses SwA for packaging XML and non-XML
parameters in a request-response (RPC) message exchange pattern. Check out
http://www.ebxml.org/tools/index.htm for more info and tools.

Subject: [SOAP] Passing XML in a RPC Parameter


Is it possible to pass an XML document in a parameter of an RPC style web
service method that is expecting a string?  If so what is the proper
procedure for doing this?

When testing various clients we are finding out that we need to encode the
entire XML string in order for this to work.  The web service itself was
developed using the .Net platform.

Thanks,
Ryan
