My web service is receiving xml from a third party that looks like this:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<Foo>bar</Foo>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
My jaxws web service rejects this with a parsing error. Also if I try to validate this xml using soapui it says Body with element-only content type cannot have text element.
My question is, is that xml valid? Or is the client supposed to send me something without escaping the < and >.
Any references to xml standards or rules are appreciated.
