extracting soap part from http request

Hi,
How do I extract the soap part of a http request in a java servlet? For example, suppose my client sends a soap request to http://localhost:8080/servlets/TestServlet and i want to print out the body of the soap request...how do i do that in TestServlet? Thanks.

Well, look at RPCRouterServlet.java and you'll see that the body comes in via
    req.getInputStream()

which is being passed to something which passes it to something which passes it to a
   new TransportMessage(..)
which does a

So presumably you can make that work, or you might prefer to make it a reader...
       InputStreamReader reader=new InputStreamReader(is,"iso-8859-1");
       StringWriter sw=new java.io.StringWriter();
       for(int ch=reader.read();ch>=0;ch=reader.read())sw.write((char)ch);
       String resString=sw.toString();
(clipped from something I was looking at anyway; this will of course be slower
than the byte-array approach, but you don't have to think about the contentlength.)
Or am I missing something again?
