Sync Java Proxy Server response in XML

Question

Hi !
We've this scenario: File1 <-> XI <-> Java Proxy <-> File2
Using a BPM, we made a Async/Sync workflow. It works ok. It uses a SYNC Java Proxy Server.
The problem is that inside the java proxy, we query an http source that returns already XML formated data. We need this data to be mapped from the java proxy response message type to the File2 message type.
We know that we can parse the XML data inside the java proxy and fill the response message type structures (creating items, and array items for nested records), or directly   code the mapping here.
But, is there any alternative to pass the received XML from the HTTP directly to XI, and map that XML structure with the File2 message type using graphical mapping ? instead of programming the xml parsing and creating the response structure?
If we create a message type for the response of the java proxy, as 1 field that contains the whole XML code, then we would not map it....Is there any way to complete or to add  something to the received XML code, to convert it to the XI message format..so XI could interpret it as a true XI message and map it transparently via graphical mapping?
Thanks,
Matias

Hi Akshay !
That's exactly what I don't know how to do it.
Inside the java proxy function I have a string variable, let's call it xmlResponse, that contains:
<customer>
<name>Matias</name>
<country>China</country>
</customer>
I also have a message type created in XI (let's call it MT_Response), that has the same fields as the above message structure. And my java proxy function is declared something like this:
public MT_Response.Type myFunction(MT_Request.Type myRequest) {
String xmlResponse="";
// http connection code goes here..
xmlResponse = httpConnection.getResponse();
return ??????? what ????
I don't want to parse the xmlResponse variable in order to fill the MT_Response structure. I need a more direct way, because the content of xmlResponse is already XML !
Thanks.
