I'm trying to write some code using low level java classes to generate
SOAP requests.  I have a SOAPmessage I have created, and can get at the
body part, however, I need to add an XML document to the body.  The
trick is that the it is in the form of a formatted String object, not a
DOM type class.  (I'm reading existing XML from a file).  If I try to
add the text of the document to the body, it escapes all the < and >
symbols.

Is there any simple way to add a bunch of existing XML to the body of a
SOAP message?

Thanks!
