How to return XML from a web service?

[Lars Marius Garshol <la...@ontopia.net>]

I've been able to get simple web services deployed as .jws and to  
access them from a Python client. This works fine.

However, I really need to return XML rather than simple values, and  
this is where things get tricky. I've been browsing around the  
documentation, wiki, and samples, without really finding anything  
that seems to point in the right direction.

Note that I do not want to build an object structure on the server  
and then serialize it to XML. I really want to produce XML directly,  
then return it.

Any pointers are welcome.

Use the Messaging API and deploy your service using WSDD rather than jws.
