I just wanted to mentioned, that I have tried the technique below with
Saxon, and it worked all right. Other processors like Xalan-J might be
using a different convention.

Hi Omar,
 Please try something like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:String="http://www.sun.com/java.lang.String">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="myxml">
     <xsl:copy-of select="env:Envelope/env:Body/*" />
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:value-of select="JavaClassRef:javaMethod(String:toString($myxml))" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
Mukul
