I've got a web service that's requiring 6 parameters be sent to it.  5
of them I have no trouble with, but the last one I do.  It's an xml
structure that needs to be inserted as is.  Originally I was passing
this as a string, but the < symbols were all getting escaped.  Next I
tried running that string through REXML::Document to get an xml doc.
When I passed the xml doc in, I get something like this:

      <n2:OutputSpec>
        <name>UNDEFINED</name>
        <whitespace>true</whitespace>
        <prefix></prefix>
        <namespace></namespace>
        <attributes></attributes>
        <elements>#&lt;REXML::Elements:0x587000&gt;</elements>
        <context></context>
        <children>
          <

          <<policy ft:status='' ft:qsid='' xmlns:ft='urn:instec-
corp.com:qsdatamodel:wcpsfieldtypes:v1' str:st

being sent when what I want is

<n2:OutputSpec>
  <policy ft:sttus='' ft:qsid='' xmlns:ft='urn:instec-
corp.com:qsdatamodel:wcpsfieldtypes:vs' .....

help..please!

Thanks
