You can send the xml as a string in the body of the request,but you have to use the XMLHttpRequest object. All the details are in David Flanagan's book JavaScript The Definitive Guide.

An excerpt from the book with an example on how to do it can be found on the following link,

http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/definitive4/index.html

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Firstly, what is your send type and return type? And why XML and not JSON?

$j.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    cache:false,
    async: false,
    data:{"xml" : var_xml}             
    url:"webservice/HelloWorld",
    dataType :"xml",
    contentType:"text/xml",
}).done(function(data){
    console.log(data);
    //show XML Data
    var xmlData =$j(data).find('HelloWorldResult').text();
    alert(xmlData);

});

There you send a variable called var_xml, in PHP access it with $_POST['xml] and you can return an XML to use in JS.

Though this is very bad practice, rather use json.

If your Webservice is PHP, I would send the XML as a string - data:"<xmlNode><child></child></xmlNode>" then parse it in PHP with something like SimpleXML
