How to send XML within a SOAP message -

i'm trying guide colleague towards right way of sending xml document in soap message, i'm no expert on subject. seems should solvable using cdata section, default gsoap serializer 'helping' encoding '<' , '>'.

for example, when seek send this:

<xml> <tag> <content> <![cdata[<xml><tag>text!</tag></xml>]]> </content> </tag> </xml>

what gets sent more this:

<xml> <tag> <content> &lt;![cdata[&lt;xml&gt;&lt;tag&gt;text!&lt;/tag&gt;&lt;/xml&gt;]]&gt; </content> </tag> </xml>

if receiver gsoap based may transparently away without needing cdata markers, not case. receiver php code, using html_entity_decode may work, feels wrong (and perhaps wouldn't work in cases?).

i hoping/expecting solution specify different type field (currently 'xsd:string') dumber serializer got used, preserving cdata markers , content within.

i'd avoid in-house wheel-reinvention if there's simple , right way solve (base64 encoding payload beingness proposed).

the serializer presumably taking input text instead of xml… leave cdata markers out of text , allow utilize character references instead of cdata markers.
