I guess my main question is how best to get my XML data out of the SOAP envelope and into my form model, replacing the place-holder XML. The form itself is for recording test results will be different based on the product, customer, etc. There seems to be a lot of different ways to achieve the same thing so I wanted an experts opinion on which is best. As my project is running a few months behind schedule I would like to get it right the first time ;)

Cheers

Steve,

You're saying that you have a SOAP service that returns the complete form (including the XHTML around it, and everything). Instead of having this same data on disk in a file somewhere under the resources, you want to call the web service, and use what it returns as the form.
Is that right?

If it is, what is the information you need to pass to the web service in the SOAP request?
