Web Service encoding response improperly using the plugin and ssl

Question

We are having a problem with the response from a document style web service. The response is xml but the elements come back as "&lt element &gt" instead of <element>. The return variable is of type String.
Our setup is Iplanet(6.1) frontend using the wl-proxy plugin
to Weblogic 8.1. The webservice is using https. If we use port 7001 (not https) instead of https 443 it works fine.
It appears to me that the plugin when used with ssl has a bug.
In help would be greatly appreciated. This situation did not occur using wls6.1. When we migrated to 8.1 that is when it started happening.
Other screnarios tested: When going right at weblogic 8.1 using ssl no problem.

Hi
When you have generated the client proxy classes from NW DS you can then include the .jar file into your applets code. Then, to actually execute the web service you can use the following code (for example)
String logicalPort = "<logical port defined in WSDL>";
<generate service interface> service = new <generated service implementation>();
<generated proxy class> port = (<generated proxy class>)service.getLogicalPort(logicalPort, <generated proxy class>.class);
String param = "myval";
String result = port.<method>(param);
where everything in the <> represents the relevant client classes that have been generated by NW DS. Bear in mind that you can either create deployed proxies or standalone proxies. Deployed proxies get deplyed to the J2EE server and need to be looked up via JNDI. The implementation classes are not included as part of the proxy generation.
Standalone proxies are created with the implementation classes included and can therefore be included in ANY java application.
I hope this helps
