Returning XML String
I wouldn't have any issues returning the Element back from the Service if I was in pure Java world, but my client is VB, so VB expects XML String. Any ideas on how to stop Apache from converting the String and substituting all < > with < and >?

It would seem to me that this would be expected behaviour. That is:
The java String "<" would be encoded as "<" and then decoded at the
receiving end, back to "<".
The java String "<" would be encoded as "&lt;" and then decoded at
the receiving end, back to "<".
The java String "&lt;" would be encoded as "&amplt;" and then
decoded at the receiving end, back to "&lt;".
And so on. So doesn't the burden lie on the VB client to correctle decode
any letters that have to be escaped in the transmission, so that the
transmission becomes legal SOAP xml.

I would be really astonished if the JScript example I just posted
didn't work the same way in VB. The service thinks it's returning
an Element, so it sends exactly the XML you want. If it doesn't
work, please let me know.
