Transporting objects with embedded XML

Question

Hi all,
I am using XFire (http://xfire.codehaus.org/) for exposing my web services. I ran across an issue while transporting an object that contains an XML document embedded in it.
As an example, here is the domain model:
public class Book {
     Integer id; 
     String name;
     XMLStreamReader document;
    //Setters and getters follow...
public class BookService {
     Book  getBook( Integer id) {
        //Construct a Book instance and return it...
}When I call BookService, I get an exception saying "could not write xml". I guess this has got to do with the fact that I am using XMLStreamReader, the same implementation that XFire uses to convert objects.
I tired information provided on this link: http://xfire.codehaus.org/Message+Binding but now I get something like "There must be a method name element."
Any ideas how I get this running? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
