Re: AW: How do you pass an XML document between Axis and .Net Client?

The issue isn't about passing a simple number, what I'd like to figure 
out how to do is to pass a large XML document from/to axis to/from the 
client.  If anybody has a straightforward way to do this (RPC or 
Messaging) I would really appreciate the example being shown.  I'm sure 
this isn't difficult, I just haven't been able to figure out how to do it.
