SOAPMessage
* object. All messages are required to have a SOAP part, so when a
* SOAPMessage object is created, it will automatically
* have a SOAPPart object.
*
* A SOAPPart object is a MIME part and has the MIME headers
* Content-Id, Content-Location, and Content-Type. Because the value of
* Content-Type must be "text/xml", a SOAPPart object automatically
* has a MIME header of Content-Type with its value set to "text/xml".
* The value must be "text/xml" because content in the SOAP part of a
* message must be in XML format. Content that is not of type "text/xml"
* must be in an AttachmentPart object rather than in the
* SOAPPart object.
*
* When a message is sent, its SOAP part must have the MIME header Content-Type * set to "text/xml". Or, from the other perspective, the SOAP part of any * message that is received must have the MIME header Content-Type with a * value of "text/xml". *
* A client can access the SOAPPart object of a
* SOAPMessage object by
* calling the method SOAPMessage.getSOAPPart. The
* following line of code, in which message is a
* SOAPMessage object, retrieves the SOAP part of a message.
*
* SOAPPart soapPart = message.getSOAPPart(); **
* A SOAPPart object contains a SOAPEnvelope object,
* which in turn contains a SOAPBody object and a
* SOAPHeader object.
* The SOAPPart method getEnvelope can be used
* to retrieve the SOAPEnvelope object.
