    What is the way one should send XML to a webservice

    Hello,

    I need to send XML data to a web service.
    Is there an XSD type I need to define? should I use some kind of encoding
    before?

    My problem is that the sent XML is being received encoded as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?.......

    now I cant do HTML decoding in the web service as the XML itself contains
    HTML tags inside which are also being encoded (i.e. <).

    Please help,
    Thanks in advance,
    Yaniv.

      The XSD should have come from the Web service provider as to what the Web
      service expects in the XML that you are sending to the provider.

      You should be in contact with the Web service provider about this.

          Hello Mr. Arnold,

          Thank you for the reply but I guess I wasn't clear enough.
          I own the web service and right now the type is String as I'm sending XML as
          String.

          However when I'm sending the XML to the web service I get the XML in the web
          service encoded (i.e. <) and not "<".

          My question is how can I send it so in the web service I will get XML
          properly (i.e. "<").

          one more thing, the XML may contain HTML tags inside for example:
          <XML>
          <Items>
          <Item>
          <Title>
          <!-- This is the html -->
          <div>HTML VALUE</div>
          </Title>
          </Item>
          </Items>
          </XML>


          Thanks a lot,
          Yaniv.

              I'm sorry I just noticed it's not displaying the encoded chars as I wanted.
              What I meant in the i.e. was &-l-t-; without the dashes.

                  How to do this depends on whether you're developing the contract first, or
                  the code first. If you do contract-first, then define the element as type
                  xsd:any. In the code, define the corresponding field or property to be of
                  type XmlElement.
