I am trying to create a web service that calls another web service and relays the results out to the user. So here is the flow:
User request to service1
service1 calls service2
service2 returns results to service1
service1 returns results to user
It's not an ideal situation but it is needed for firewall issues. Anyway, my issue is that I can't get the return types straightened out. Ultimately I would like the user to see the xmlDocument that service2 creates.
I built service 2 to return XmlDocument, which is does.
But when I add a web reference in service1 to service2 the return type for that method magically becomes XmlNode and not XmlDocument.
Now when that XmlNode gets back to service1 I don't know how to coddle it to return a nice XmlDocument to the user.
I have tried to alter the return type in the web reference proxy to XmlDocument with no luck.
I have tried to create a new XmlDocument in service1 and somehow tack the XmlNode into it with no luck.
I get a lot of malformed XML errors.
Any suggestions?
