Hi

we are facing an issue as detailed below,

in the output xml returned from the api method,  
we see that whenever two fields have same value,  
it is represented as href, we dont want the  
representation in that manner,  
can you members pls help us on this.

eg

abc

desired output should be as below,

abc  
abc
