/**
 * The root class for all SOAP messages. As transmitted on the "wire", a SOAP
 * message is an XML document or a MIME message whose first body part is an
 * XML/SOAP document.
 * <P>
 * A {@code SOAPMessage} object consists of a SOAP part and optionally
 * one or more attachment parts. The SOAP part for a {@code SOAPMessage}
 * object is a {@code SOAPPart} object, which contains information used
 * for message routing and identification, and which can contain
 * application-specific content. All data in the SOAP Part of a message must be
 * in XML format.
 * <P>
 * A new {@code SOAPMessage} object contains the following by default:
 * <UL>
 *   <LI>A {@code SOAPPart} object
 *   <LI>A {@code SOAPEnvelope} object
 *   <LI>A {@code SOAPBody} object
 *   <LI>A {@code SOAPHeader} object
 * </UL>
 * The SOAP part of a message can be retrieved by calling the method {@code SOAPMessage.getSOAPPart()}.
 * The {@code SOAPEnvelope} object is retrieved from the {@code SOAPPart}
 * object, and the {@code SOAPEnvelope} object is used to retrieve the
 * {@code SOAPBody} and {@code SOAPHeader} objects.
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 *     SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
 *     SOAPEnvelope se = sp.getEnvelope();
 *     SOAPBody sb = se.getBody();
 *     SOAPHeader sh = se.getHeader();
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <P>
 * In addition to the mandatory {@code SOAPPart} object, a {@code SOAPMessage}
 * object may contain zero or more {@code AttachmentPart} objects, each
 * of which contains application-specific data. The {@code SOAPMessage}
 * interface provides methods for creating {@code AttachmentPart}
 * objects and also for adding them to a {@code SOAPMessage} object. A
 * party that has received a {@code SOAPMessage} object can examine its
 * contents by retrieving individual attachment parts.
 * <P>
 * Unlike the rest of a SOAP message, an attachment is not required to be in
 * XML format and can therefore be anything from simple text to an image file.
 * Consequently, any message content that is not in XML format must be in an
 * {@code AttachmentPart} object.
 * <P>
 * A {@code MessageFactory} object may create {@code SOAPMessage}
 * objects with behavior that is specialized to a particular implementation or
 * application of SAAJ. For instance, a {@code MessageFactory} object
 * may produce {@code SOAPMessage} objects that conform to a particular
 * Profile such as ebXML. In this case a {@code MessageFactory} object
 * might produce {@code SOAPMessage} objects that are initialized with
 * ebXML headers.
 * <P>
 * In order to ensure backward source compatibility, methods that are added to
 * this class after version 1.1 of the SAAJ specification are all concrete
 * instead of abstract and they all have default implementations. Unless
 * otherwise noted in the JavaDocs for those methods the default
 * implementations simply throw an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}
 * and the SAAJ implementation code must override them with methods that
 * provide the specified behavior. Legacy client code does not have this
 * restriction, however, so long as there is no claim made that it conforms to
 * some later version of the specification than it was originally written for.
 * A legacy class that extends the SOAPMessage class can be compiled and/or run
 * against succeeding versions of the SAAJ API without modification. If such a
 * class was correctly implemented then it will continue to behave correctly
 * relative to the version of the specification against which it was written.
