How can I change namespace prefix for JAX-RPC client request?

WP v.2

I'm creating a JAX-RPC client to invoke a RPC/encoded web service. The service was generated from a ColdFusion program and for some reason when the SOAP namespace prefix is anything but "soapenv" it returns text/html instead of text/xml. Currently the client is sending requests with the prefix "env" and I'd like to change it to "soapenv".

I created a type of javax.xml.rpc.handler.GenericHandler and attempted to do the follow:

<span class="lit" style="color: #800000;">@Override</span><span class="pln"> </span><span class="kwd" style="color: #00008b;">public</span><span class="pln"> </span><span class="kwd" style="color: #00008b;">boolean</span><span class="pln"> handleRequest</span><span class="pun">(</span><span class="typ" style="color: #2b91af;">MessageContext</span><span class="pln"> p1</span><span class="pun">)</span><span class="pln"> </span><span class="pun">{</span><span class="pln"> </span>

Is there any workaround? I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, Bill

What I ended up doing is converting the SOAP message to a string, replacing the namespace prefix and converting it back to a SOAP message.

@Override
   public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext messageContext) {
      SOAPMessageContext soapMessageContext = (SOAPMessageContext) messageContext;
      SOAPMessage soapMessage = soapMessageContext.getMessage();
    
      String soapString = convertSOAPToString(soapMessage);


      soapString = soapString.replaceAll("env:", "soapenv:");
      soapString = soapString.replaceAll("xmlns:env", "xmlns:soapenv");
    
      SOAPMessage newSoapMessage = convertStringToSOAP(soapString);
    
      MimeHeaders mimeHeader = newSoapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
      mimeHeader.setHeader("SOAPAction", "");
    
      soapMessageContext.setMessage(newSoapMessage);
    
      return true;
   }

   private String convertSOAPToString(SOAPMessage soapMessage) {
      StringWriter stringWriter = null;
    
      try {
         stringWriter = new StringWriter();
         StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(stringWriter);
       
         TransformerFactory transformFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
         Transformer transformer = transformFactory.newTransformer();
         transformer.transform(new DOMSource(soapMessage.getSOAPPart()), streamResult);
       
      } catch (TransformerException e) {
         throw new RuntimeException(e);
      } finally {
         close(stringWriter);
      }
    
      return stringWriter.toString();    
   }

   private SOAPMessage convertStringToSOAP(String soapString) {
      SOAPMessage soapMessage = null;
      ByteArrayInputStream byteInputStream = null;
    
      try {
         MessageFactory msgFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
         soapMessage = msgFactory.createMessage();
         SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();
       
         // Load the SOAP text into a stream source
         byte[] buffer = soapString.getBytes();
         byteInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer);
       
         StreamSource source = new StreamSource(byteInputStream);
       
         // Set contents of message 
         soapPart.setContent(source);        
       
      } catch (SOAPException e) {
         throw new RuntimeException(e);
      } finally {
         close(byteInputStream);
      }   
    
      return soapMessage;
