Mapping SOAP response to RFC out parameters

Question

Hello
I have RFC to SOAP (sync) scenario.
The SOAP reponse from webservice is an embedded XML string (Result XML wrapped within Response XML; The result string from web service is an XML itself)
How to achieve Message Mapping so that the fields in the result XML can be captured directly in to RFC output paramters?
I have mapped Result XML string to RFC output thru User Defined Function. I have filtered xml tags in UDF but I do not wish to hard code the tags' filtering.
Is there a better solution?
Kindly advise.
cheers

Hey Chris
Here are the structure samples (source & target)
The intention is to map <Elem1> & <Elem2> of each <Line> to RFC structure fields, 'Item1' & 'Item2'.
The <Line> items can be multiple and for each Line one RFC strcuture 'Record' has to be created.
*********source begin**
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <WSDLResponse xmlns="namespace123">
      <WSDLResult>xml_string</WSDLResult>
    </WSDLResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
...where the xml_string is as below (whole XML)-
<?xml version =''1.0'' encoding=''utf-8'' ?>
   <Addr>
     <Result>
         <ErrorCode>0</ErrorCode>
         <ErrorDesc></ErrorDesc>
     </Result>
     <Return>
         <Line>
             <Elem1>value1</Elem1>
             <Elem2>value2</Elem2>
         </Line>
         <Line>
              <Elem1>value3</Elem1>
              <Elem2>value4</Elem2>
         </Line>
      </Return>
    </Addr>
source end***
The target structure is -
target begin***
- RFC strcture
    - Record
         - Item1
         - Item2
source end***
Apologies for the lengthy text but it is quite confusing
What is the best way to achieve mapping?
thx
