    copied!<p>I have a .net web application that has a Flex application embedded within a page. This flex application calls a .net webservice. I can trace the execution proccess through the debugger and all looks great until I get the response:</p> <pre><code> soap:ReceiverSystem.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request . ---&gt; System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ThrowWithoutLineInfo(String res) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent() at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read() at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.Read() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.SoapEnvelopeReader.Read() at System.Xml.XmlReader.MoveToContent() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.SoapEnvelopeReader.MoveToContent() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocolHelper.GetRequestElement() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.Soap12ServerProtocolHelper.RouteRequest() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.RouteRequest(SoapServerMessage message) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean&amp; abortProcessing) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- </code> </pre> <p>The call from flex looks good, the execution through the webservice is good, but this is the response I capture via wireshark, what is going on here?</p> <p>I have tried several web methods, from "Hello World" to paramatized methods...all comeback with the same response...</p> <p>I thought it may have something to do with encoding with the "---&amp;gt", but I'm unsure how to control what .net renders as the response.</p>
