Unable to serialize XMLElement using SOAP?

Question

I'm using oracle AS 10.1.3.0 release. I'm trying to set up a webservice that will accept an Element (which I've done in prior releases no problem). When I attempt to call the webservice I get the following error:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ComplianceImpl.printTags: Failed result = [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=No Serializer found to serialize a 'oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found to serialize a 'oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.]
Now I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong unless Element support has been deprecated as we move towards JaxRPC. Here is my interface call and wsdl:
public Element printTags(Element elem) throws Exception;
<message name="printTagsOutput">
<part name="return" element="xsd:any"/>
</message>
<message name="printTagsInput">
<part name="param0" element="xsd:any"/>
</message>
<operation name="printTags">
<input message="tns:printTagsInput"/>
<output message="tns:printTagsOutput"/>
</operation>
<binding name="EventIntfBinding" type="tns:EventIntfPortType">
<soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="rpc"/>
<operation name="printTags">
<soap:operation soapAction="urn:oracle-edge-web-ws-EventIntf/printTags"/>
<input>
<soap:body use="literal" namespace="urn:oracle-edge-web-ws-EventIntf"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="literal" namespace="urn:oracle-edge-web-ws-EventIntf"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
Anybody have any ideas regarding this?

There is a sample that demonstrates serializing the ReportClientDocument [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0a4791b-9d3b-2c10-94a5-86088b6224d4]
