When extracting the body from a SOAP envelope you want the second element. The first element under the envelope should be the header, which is why you get an exception for attempting to cast the header to a body. It may help to have a better understanding of the anatomy of a SOAP message. http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/ may be of some help.
