If you have generated a given Envelope from a parsed XML stream (rather than
creating it programatically), the body entries collection (i.e.
Body.getBodyEntries()) should contain a DOM Element for each body entry.
I'm not sure you can get the actual <SOAP-ENV:Body> Element very easily.

Axis (http://xml.apache.org/axis), the next generation of Apache SOAP, is
based on SAX (and performs significantly better as a result). You can use
the internal MessageElement representation to read/manipulate SOAP, or you
can get any element as a DOM.
