Getting handle of the original XML message in JAX-WS

[jimpo]

I am using JAX-WS to implement my web services. I start with a WSDL and then create the stubs and data objects using jbossws 2.0's wscompile tool. I have bunch of service operations A,B, and C that work like this, 'normally'.

Now I would like to have a different kind of operation D which takes two parameter's D1 and D2. I want to have D1 mapped into a Java object like wsconsume -generated classes do. But, D2 should map into a String containing the xml representation of the parameter.

How can I do this with JAX-WS and jbossws?

As an example, web service request that contains

<vac:archiveDecision>
 <vac:employeeNumber>123</vac:employeeNumber>
 <vac:decision>
 <foo>
 dsadsa
 </foo>
 <bar>
 <baz>asdasd</baz>
 <baz2>asdasd</baz2>
 </bar>
 </vac:decision>
</vac:archiveDecision>

Should be mapped into Java object

class Some {
int employeeNumber;
String decision
}

with values

employeeNumber = 123,
decision = "<vac:decision><foo>dsadsa</foo><bar><baz>asdasd</baz><baz2>asdasd</baz2></bar></vac:decision>"

guess I should give wscompile a JAXB binding xml that defines this kind of mapping.

I can't figure out how to construct this binding.xml. How do I define a mapping which maps ComplexType 'archiveDecisionType's element 'decision' into a String containing the element's xml? Any examples?

Also, binding to a String is not a necessity. I could bind to a Document or an Element as well. As long as I can extract the xml easily, ie. not binding into a group of java objects.
