The term "web service" doesn't necessarily mean SOAP, though SOAP is 
getting more and more popular, there are still web services that don't use 
SOAP.

But, at any rate, I assume your client requires SOAP.

I suspect that the Java program parses the SOAP envelope and then calls 
your RPG program.  I guess what I'm suggesting (and this may be too much 
work, I don't know) is that you call the RPG program directly and use 
Expat to parse the SOAP document.

Though, if it's a standard parameter (I'm not sure if it is or not, since 
I avoid Java as much as possible) they're passeed by reference.  So you 
should be able to examine the memory right after the parameter to see the 
rest of the data.

I guess that's another possibility... have the web service call a Java 
program instead of an RPG program.  Have that Java program write the data 
to the IFS and then call your RPG program.

I'd try simply examining the memory after the parameter data to see if 
it's all there first, though...
