Axis SOAPElement.addChildElement inserts it's own prefix

[Frank Malinowski]

I am trying to create a SOAPEnvelope using Axis. For the particular message that I need to send The tags in my body do not need prefixes. So, I am using the following:

SOAPEnvelope env = new SOAPEnvelope();
SOAPHeader hdr = env.getHeader();
SOAPBody body = env.getBody();
SOAPElement myElement = body.addChildElement("MyTag");  

However, the xml that is created is as follows:

  
<soapenv:Notify>
 
...
 
</soapenv:Notify>

I don't want the prefix soapenv. I simply want the tag to be as follows:

  
<Notify>
 
...
 
</Notify>

Has anyone seen this and if so do you have a suggestion?

Thanks, Frank
