I am trying to retrieve a value from a column called "TaskData" in a t

I am trying to retrieve a value from a column called "TaskData" in a table from the DB. The column is of type XML.We retrieve the data through a web service and not directly through a data store entity.
In the response structure CDT (XSD), this taskdata field is of type text.

when I make the service call the value does not seem to map to the text field even though its present in the DB. I am able to see the value in the response when I call via SOAP UI.

Any idea why an XML value does not get mapped to a text field? Will this work only if I make the field as a CDT matching the XML type?
