Stan, I am not sure you can do this with JAXM. Unless I am mistaken the JAXM API requires that you send the entire SOAP content as an input stream. I am surprised that neither API allows you to specify just the BODY portion as an input stream. Did I mis-read JAXM or is this the case?

Good question. You can do this with JAXM, and I would speculate that Axis may eventually support too. Cheers.
