I solved the problem with the SOAP sampler! For future googlenauts, I had to adjust the XML namespace declarations from this:
<Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" > xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><Body><foo > xmlns="http://foo.soap.action" > /></Body></Envelope> > To this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <foo xmlns="http://clients-xlmns"/> </soap:Body></soap:Envelope> That now works fine.
