Hi Paul, This should get you where you want to go....
SOAPEnvelope env = messageContext.getRequestMessage().getSOAPEnvelope(); SOAPBodyElement e = env.getFirstBody(); Iterator it = e.getChildElements(); while (it.hasNext()) { } By iterating thru the child elements you should be able to retrieve the proper information...
