I have a stateless session bean method that returns well-formed XML. This method is then turned into a Web Services method using Axis. Using an
Java Axis client, there is no problem processing the XML returned. However, with a VB6 client which uses MSXML DOM parser, it complains the XML is not well-formed. The reason is that Axis encoded the < and > characters in XML into < and >, and MS XML parser does not automatically decode these. I would like to know whether it is possible to turn off such encoding in Axis so that I don't incur overhead with conversion?
