The file contains XML...the root element of the xml document in the file is the child element of soap:body.
I tried MESSAGE and it seems the CXF component is expecting the file to contain the entire SOAP message (envelope and body), which would be a pain to create. I'd rather avoid POJO mode since I really don't want to have to generate code. But nonetheless I tried it and ran into a whole bunch more exceptions...probably wasn't configuring it right. I'd rather learn how to write a converter and do that than have to generate code. How do I explore whether there is a converter missing? Again, it's surprising that there isn't a converter that will take a GenericFile (or String) and plop it into the soap:body, since that seems like such a common scenario...so there must be something I'm missing.

Often people use either POJO or MESSAGE format. So there could be a converter to/from CxfPayload missing. Especially for String, byte[], streams which is common types.
