This doesn't look right. Usually, you don't hand-code a string
containing SOAP XML and call SOAP4R methods with it. The purpose of
SOAP4R is to shield you from all that.

It's hard to tell exactly without the WSDL, but my guess is that what
you really want is something like
result = service.loginCustomer('user','pass').

Have you tried generating a sample client? See
