Webservice returning string (but I need XML for XSLT Tranformation)

Question

Hello everybody,
I have configured an ip with a webservice. So far so good - everything works fine.
Now I want to transform the output of the webservice with xslt. The webservice returns the data as a String in form of XML.
e.g.
    <!XML>
<!String>
<!String> </b>
</Bill> <!XML>
But XSLT don't find e.g the node , because it is a String. I think the right way is first to transform the String into XML. I tried this step with Java with the method
public void execute(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream)
        throws StreamTransformationException {
but it doesn't work. I am not sure, if this is the right way.I have searched for a code sample, but I didn't find anything.
What do you think?
Do you have a code sample?
This would be great!
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hello Bhavesh,
thx very much for your help.
Here is my Java Mapping:
public class ModusLebenTransformation implements StreamTransformation
public static byte[] readStream(InputStream in, boolean close)
    throws IOException
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int c = in.read();
    while (c > -1)
        out.write(c);
        c = in.read();
    out.flush();
    byte[] result = out.toByteArray();
    out.close();
    if (close)
        in.close();
    return result;
public void setParameter(Map map) {
public void execute(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream)
        throws StreamTransformationException {
   try {
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
   StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputStream);
String input = new String(readStream(inputStream,true));
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(input), result);      
  } catch (Exception e) {
             throw new StreamTransformationException("Mapping failed", e);
But I don't know if this code is enough to convert the String( from the webservice) into XML.
And then I would like to use XSLT for transformation in a new mapping step.
Do you think this is possible?
Do you have a code sample, that will tranform the String (from the webservice) into XML?
This would be very helpful!

Jürgen
