I have a requirement to create a web service that will do stuff so as to replace an existing system for which the input and output xml is known, but the source code is not available.

Can anyone provide any pointers as to how I can write the code such that the request XML it deserializes/response XML it serializes looks exactly like the spec on my desk?

Everything I read about setting up web services doesnt discuss the underlying XML, so I presume that most WS are created from the point of view that "write code, and don't worry about the XML underneath" but I need to have this sort of reverse development such that I worry about the XML underneath and build code that generates it, to ensure that the new service can take over from the last as a seamless transition

Cheers
