The code doesn't invoke any web service, it just creates a message that is suitable for sending
to some WSDL that requires a message in this format. Here is the result of running the pro-
gram:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<isbn xmlns="http://ns.soacookbook.com/catalog">12345</isbn>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
If there are no attachments on the message, it is just written out as XML. If there are attach-
ments on the message, a MIME-encoded byte stream is written. Also, the method throws an
IOException
if it can't write to the given stream.
