The Following Code produces:
&lt?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt
&ltsoapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w
3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt
 &ltsoapenv:Body&gt
  &ltRateRequest xmlns="http://www.whatever.org/"/&gt
 &lt/soapenv:Body&gt
&lt/soapenv:Envelope&gt
 
HOWEVER, the following is what was expected:
&lt?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt
&ltsoapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w
3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt
 &ltsoapenv:Body&gt
  &ltRateRequest xmlns="http://www.whatever.org/"&gt
    &ltPOS&gt
      &ltSource&gt
        &ltUniqueId Type="IDNUM" Id="12345"/&gt
      &lt/Source&gt
    &lt/POS&gt
  &lt/RateRequest
 &lt/soapenv:Body&gt
&lt/soapenv:Envelope&gt
 
 
WHAT IS WRONG?  WHY is the xmlFromDom4j not utilized?
