Yes. Axis2 converts XML String into an OMElement and passes it to the
Service class. Actually it is the SOAPBuilder which converts  the input
stream to an SOAP Envelope, not the message receiver. Therefore non-java
clients have to send the request XML string in a manner which can be
understood by the service class.
