Handling faults on the client side ( and Root element of a SOAP messagemust be: 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/:Envelope'. )

[Jesus M. Salvo Jr.]

How are you supposed to handle faults on the client side, when receiving the HTTP response body from the SOAP Server?
For example, I have the piece of code below:

// Finally, send the SOAP envelope with attachment
this.logger.info( "Sending Submit SOAP message to " + p_postTo );
soapMessage.send( p_postTo, "", envelope );
this.logger.info( "Submit SOAP message sent" );

// Retrieve the response back
this.logger.debug( "Getting SubmitResponse...." );
SOAPTransport transport = soapMessage.getSOAPTransport();
BufferedReader reader = transport.receive();

// Get the SOAP envelope from the response
this.logger.debug( "Parsing SubmitResponse into a SOAP envelope..." );
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource source = new InputSource( reader );
Document xmlResponseDocument = builder.parse( source );

Envelope responseEnvelope = Envelope.unmarshall( xmlResponseDocument.getDocumentElement(), responseContext );


However, I am getting the following exception on the Envelope.unmarshall() call:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Root element of a SOAP message must be: 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/:Envelope'.


Here is the full HTTP response from Apache-SOAP:
