/**
* The root class for all SOAP messages. As transmitted on the "wire", a SOAP
* message is an XML document or a MIME message whose first body part is an
* XML/SOAP document.
* <P>
* A <code>SOAPMessage</code> object consists of a SOAP part and optionally
* one or more attachment parts. The SOAP part for a <code>SOAPMessage</code>
* object is a <code>SOAPPart</code> object, which contains information used
* for message routing and identification, and which can contain
* application-specific content. All data in the SOAP Part of a message must be
* in XML format.
* <P>
* A new <code>SOAPMessage</code> object contains the following by default:
* <UL>
* <LI>A <code>SOAPPart</code> object
* <LI>A <code>SOAPEnvelope</code> object
* <LI>A <code>SOAPBody</code> object
* <LI>A <code>SOAPHeader</code> object
* </UL>
* The SOAP part of a message can be retrieved by calling the method <code>SOAPMessage.getSOAPPart()</code>.
* The <code>SOAPEnvelope</code> object is retrieved from the <code>SOAPPart</code>
* object, and the <code>SOAPEnvelope</code> object is used to retrieve the
* <code>SOAPBody</code> and <code>SOAPHeader</code> objects.
*
* <PRE>
* SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
* SOAPEnvelope se = sp.getEnvelope();
* SOAPBody sb = se.getBody();
* SOAPHeader sh = se.getHeader();
* </PRE>
*
* <P>
* In addition to the mandatory <code>SOAPPart</code> object, a <code>SOAPMessage</code>
* object may contain zero or more <code>AttachmentPart</code> objects, each
* of which contains application-specific data. The <code>SOAPMessage</code>
* interface provides methods for creating <code>AttachmentPart</code>
* objects and also for adding them to a <code>SOAPMessage</code> object. A
* party that has received a <code>SOAPMessage</code> object can examine its
* contents by retrieving individual attachment parts.
* <P>
* Unlike the rest of a SOAP message, an attachment is not required to be in
* XML format and can therefore be anything from simple text to an image file.
* Consequently, any message content that is not in XML format must be in an
* <code>AttachmentPart</code> object.
* <P>
* A <code>MessageFactory</code> object may create <code>SOAPMessage</code>
* objects with behavior that is specialized to a particular implementation or
* application of SAAJ. For instance, a <code>MessageFactory</code> object
* may produce <code>SOAPMessage</code> objects that conform to a particular
* Profile such as ebXML. In this case a <code>MessageFactory</code> object
* might produce <code>SOAPMessage</code> objects that are initialized with
* ebXML headers.
* <P>
* In order to ensure backward source compatibility, methods that are added to
* this class after version 1.1 of the SAAJ specification are all concrete
* instead of abstract and they all have default implementations. Unless
* otherwise noted in the JavaDocs for those methods the default
* implementations simply throw an <code>UnsupportedOperationException</code>
* and the SAAJ implementation code must override them with methods that
* provide the specified behavior. Legacy client code does not have this
* restriction, however, so long as there is no claim made that it conforms to
* some later version of the specification than it was originally written for.
* A legacy class that extends the SOAPMessage class can be compiled and/or run
* against succeeding versions of the SAAJ API without modification. If such a
* class was correctly implemented then it will continue to behave correctly
* relative to the version of the specification against which it was written.
