   5.12&nbsp;&nbsp;<STRONG><A NAME="Q5_12">I would like to write a SOAP service method that returns a DOM Document (org.w3c.dom.Document). How do I do this?</A></STRONG><BR>
   You need to return a DOM Element rather than a Document, and you need to specify the use of Literal XML encoding for the return value. The encoding style of a Call return is determined by the encoding style of the Request. DOM Elements use Literal XML encoding. For example, if a service accepts one String Parameter and returns an Element, just set the encoding style for the call to "<A HREF="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml"">http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml"</a> and the encoding style for the parameter to "<A HREF="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding"">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding"</a>. Thus, part of your client code would look like:<BR>...<BR>Call call = new Call();<BR>call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:someservice");<BR>call.setMethodName("callmethod");<BR>call.setEncodingStyleURI( Constants.NS_URI_LITERAL_XML );<BR>String strparam = "joebob";<BR><BR>Vector params = new Vector();<BR>params.addElement( new Parameter( "strparam", String.class,<BR>                                  strparam, Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC ) );<BR>�<BR><BR>See the GetAllListings() method in the Addressbook sample for a more detailed example of how to control the return encoding style.<p>
