Deserializing XML w/o using client stubs

[tom ONeill <be...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have used the WSDL2Java utility to generate client stubs to invoke an 
external partners web service. My component receives a large XML string 
which represents the datatype which will be passed as a parameter to the web 
service call. Thus I need a way of deserializing this XML string into the 
appropriate Java type (as oppossed to creating the Java type within my code 
and populating its member variables). I would expect to be able create some 
kind of Document object from my XML string and then use an Axis 
derserializer to return the appropriate Java type. However if is not clear 
from the Axis API how I might do this.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Tom
