Microsoft's .NET fails to recognize the CDATA tag from WebSphere Web Service
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When WebSphere®'s Web Service Engine sends XML data strings longer than 2000 characters, it puts them inside a CDATA tag; the SOAP engine doesn't parse large data strings.
 
Cause
Microsoft®'s .NET doesn't recognize this tag and issues an exception when trying to parse the SOAP packet.
 
Resolving the problem
The CDATA type is standard XML and doesn't violate any specifications. To avoid this problem, Microsoft's .NET must be able to understand the CDATA tag when trying to deserialize the SOAP message.

This problem is not caused by WebSphere.
