If you don't want the Response to be in a SOAP envelope, are you also not bothered about calling the web service using SOAP. E.g. You are not creating proxy classes web references etc and just using http post or get to call the web service?
You may use Soap Extensions to create / customize for your needs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
