Passing xml tags and its content to an extension

[Miguel Capo]

I am trying to pass a fragment of an XML document to a java extension to base64 encode it. I need to pass the tags and the content and return back all of it base64 encode it. Can anybody help? For some reason I am able to pass the content but the tags fail to make it to the method, hence I can only base64 encode the content.

Thanks for your help
