Is this the correct design

Guys
I need to write a java function which accepts a parametr and returns the
data in the form of XML . Now this service is in Java. What dod you think is
the best design . out of these 

public Element GetMyInfo(String name )
{
/*  This function builds the XML based on some criter*/

}

or

public String GetMyInfo(String name )
{
/* Concatenate the string to give XML lok and return it */
}

Is there any better design .. This should be accessible for all types of
client using SOAP..
