Description:
The method getAsString() in SOAPPart assumes that the document is UTF-8 encoded.  This does not work correctly for ISO-8859-1 documents that contain characters with the high-order bit on.  If one calls getAsString() on such a document before it is parsed (e.g. in a logging handler of some sort), the document will not be read correctly -- I've seen it truncated at the offending character.
The workaround is to ensure that any handlers deserialize the document first by making sure getAsSOAPEnvelope() is called first, and then calling getAsString().
Interestingly, if the current form is a deserialized envelope and one wishes to have the raw string for logging purposes, a subsequent call to getAsString() will cause the envelope to be serialized to a string.  I would think that the SOAPPart object would hang on to a copy of the String representation instead of serializing the document it just deserialized.  Keeping the raw string and object graph in synch would be a problem however.
