Or you could just do...
public class Foo {
DocumentFactory factory = new DocumentFactory();
public Element makeSomething() {
Element element = factory.createElement( "MyElementName" );
element.addText( "some text content" );
return element;
}
}
and use this mechansim to create any node or document fragment.

Namespace support in XPath is a big topic. The short answer is to use a
prefix...
//SOAP-ENV:Body
dom4j will use the prefixes that are available in your document by default
or you can specify your own prefixes to use with an XPath.
e.g.
http://dom4j.org/todo.html
the first feature in the 'New Features' section describes how to pass in
namespace prefixes using a Map to XPath queries.
