Getting deserialization error when calling a secured webservice

Question

Hi All,
I am getting deserialization error: java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement when I am calling my secured web service through a proxy client.
I have secured my webservice using a keystore, I had created using keytool . In key store I have created keys using RSA algorithm.
when I am doing all this for a webservice in which input is a string variable, then it is working.
But if I am passing a document then it is giving me ERROR OWS-04045 Malformed Request Message: deserialization error: java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement .
Below is the code of java class, I have exposed as webservice :
import java.io.StringWriter;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
public class READXML {
public String getXML(Document xmlDocument) {
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = null;
try {
transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
try {
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(xmlDocument),
new StreamResult(writer));
} catch (TransformerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return writer.toString();
Appreciate if any body can help me to resolve the issue.
thanks in advance

Mike,
I have tried by validating xml, again it is giving same error.
when I am not securing my webservice then it is working fine.
The problem is coming only when i am securing my webservice.
