Hi Satheesh

Basically you want to :
# create a layout for the XML output (layout.ini)
# overwrite the "Content-Type" header for this layout so that the ouput is presented as XML (layout.ini)
# create templates to produce the desired output

I wrote about this here
http://suffandnonsense.blogspot.com/2007/05/easy-web-services-with-ez-publish.html While it doesn't cover what you are asking 100% is should give you enough to do what you want.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes i read your article already and i tried the followings

1. Added the following code in <b> layout.ini </b>

    	[xml]
	PageLayout=xml_pagelayout.tpl
	ContentType=text/xml

and i created a override file for pagelayout which is <b> xml_pagelayout.tpl </b> (i dunno wheather it is needed or not) which is loaded with sample xml tags

2. With the help of one earlier forum i have changed the article.tpl file in full XML format (Article - Full view for flash step)

But i dunno how to make it run successfully

Kindly explain a bit more about this point
# create templates to produce the desired output

Thanks and Regards
