Method

NodegetBodyContent(SOAPBody body)
Extract the first Node contaning the payload of a SOAPBody/ 
Iterator iterator = body.getChildElements();
Node firstNode = null;
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
    Node currentNode = (Node) iterator.next();
    if (currentNode instanceof SOAPBodyElement) {
        firstNode = currentNode;
        break;
return firstNode;
byte[]getBytes(SOAPMessage soap)
Returns the XML representing the SOAP message as bytes. 
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
    soap.setProperty(SOAPMessage.WRITE_XML_DECLARATION, "true");
    soap.writeTo(out);
} catch (SOAPException e) {
    throw new IOException(e);
return out.toByteArray();
...
voidgetDeclaredNamespaces(SOAPElement aElement, Map aPrefixMap)
Finds all the namespaces and prefixes in effect for a SOAPElement using SAAJ interface methods 
for (SOAPElement element = aElement; element != null; element = element.getParentElement()) {
    for (Iterator it = element.getNamespacePrefixes(); it.hasNext();) {
        String prefix = (String) it.next();
        String ns = element.getNamespaceURI(prefix);
        if (!aPrefixMap.containsKey(prefix)) {
            aPrefixMap.put(prefix, ns);
CollectiongetExcludedTypes()
get Excluded Types 
return null;
String[]getFaultCodeAndString(SOAPMessage message)
Retrieves the fault code, string and detail from a SOAP fault message. 
SOAPFault fault = message.getSOAPBody().getFault();
if (fault == null) {
    return null;
return new String[] { fault.getFaultCode(), fault.getFaultString(), detail(fault.getDetail()) };
StringgetHeaderValue(SOAPMessage message, String tagName)
get Header Value 
String value = null;
try {
    SOAPHeader header = message.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().getHeader();
    NodeList elements = header.getElementsByTagNameNS("*", tagName);
    if (elements.getLength() > 0)
        value = elements.item(0).getChildNodes().item(0).getNodeValue();
} catch (SOAPException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

    if (!uri.startsWith("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope")) {
        namespaceDeclarations.put(prefix, uri);
...
StringgetNamespacePrefix(SOAPElement element, String nsURI)
Returns the prefix of the namespace that has the given URI. 
Iterator it = element.getVisibleNamespacePrefixes();
while (it.hasNext()) {
    String prefix = (String) it.next();
    if (nsURI.equals(element.getNamespaceURI(prefix)))
        return prefix;
return null;
ListgetNamespacePrefixes(SOAPElement element)
Returns all namespace prefixes of a given SOAP element. 
List<String> nsPrefixes = new ArrayList<>();
Iterator<?> it = element.getNamespacePrefixes();
while (it.hasNext()) {
    nsPrefixes.add(it.next().toString());
return nsPrefixes;
