ClassCastException using SAAJ

[Klaus Wienert]

I'm stuck in using SAAJ with Axis 1.1. When I try to add a child element to
the body, I get a ClassCastException. But when I add a soap fault and don't
add a child element, everything works fine.


Any suggestions?


import javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPEnvelope;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPPart;

try {
   MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
   SOAPMessage message = mf.createMessage();
   System.out.println("Attachments: " + message.countAttachments());
   message.writeTo(System.out);
   SOAPPart part = message.getSOAPPart();
   SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
   SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
   body.addChildElement(envelope.createName("node")); // (*)
   //body.addFault(); // (**)
   message.writeTo(System.out);
} catch (Exception ex) {
   ex.printStackTrace();
}
