Hi,

How do I extract the xml body from a request within a controller? The  
controller keeps processing the xml requests and responds back.

Also , would like to know whats the best way to map the xml to a model?  
Should this be done manually where each parameter in the xml is mapped  
to  
the model class?

Thanks in advance,

regards,  
Rajmohan
