WebServiceTemplate send raw XML as content

I am using Spring-WS with JAXB.

Have the next code:

WebServiceTemplate template = (WebServiceTemplate) ctx.getBean("requestWsTemplate");
ObjectFactory f = new ObjectFactory();
Request r = f.createRequest();
r.setContent("<age>25</age>");
template.marshalSendAndReceive(r);

the <age> tag gets escaped to &lt;age&gt;

Is there a way to send it raw/unescaped?

Thanks.

I ended up using JAXB.

After marshalling I replace the content in my marshalled content and then send over the network the modified content.

I think Jaxb is not the way to go since it needs to have a correct java structure for the xml (mostly based on an XSD file). If you want to marshall something like this you'd better use XStream (or any other non-schema based marshaller of course) as a marshaller since that's not based on a schema.

At least, that's how I solved this a while ago :)

On the other hand, if you've got any influence on the receiving end, you can simply decode the given (encoded) xml by using XStream. Which makes it a bit easier on the client side.
