SOAP Help Building Request With Nested Tags

I have been struggling with Apache SOAP to try and build a request. Specifically, I don't understand how to embed these elements into the Header and Body sections. More specifically, how to do this nested tags. 
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Below, is a sample of the request I need to send to the server. 


<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ContinueHeader xmlns="http://www.openuri.org/2002/04/soap/conversation/">
<uniqueID>111111111111111</uniqueID>
</ContinueHeader>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<subscribe xmlns="http://xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/service">
<comHdr>
<WSCredentials>
<UserName>xxxxxxx</UserName>
<Password>xxxxxxxx</Password>
</WSCredentials>
</comHdr>
</subscribe>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


I can add the <UserName>xxxxxxx</UserName> <Password>xxxxxxxx</Password> to the body of the request using:

Vector parms = new Vector();
parms.addElement(new Parameter("UserName", String.class, username, null));
parms.addElement(new Parameter("Token", String.class, password, null));
call.setParams(parms);

I just don't know how to add those tags within the <comHdr> and <WSCredentials> tags.

In your example, "subscribe" is the method being called.  Because its element has exactly one child element, there is exactly one parameter to the method, something called "comHdr", which is an XML complexType.  You would model this in your Java code as a class.

public class _ComHdr {
    public _WSCredentials WSCredentials = new _WSCredentials();
}

public class _WSCredentials {
    public string UserName;
    public string Password;
}

_ComHdr ch = new _ComHdr();
ch.WSCredentials.UserName = "xxxxx";
ch.WSCredentials.Password = "yyyyy";

// Here you must map BeanSerializer as [de-]serializer for _WSCredentials, _ComHdr classes,
// but I will leave it to you to look at, say, the AddressBook samples to see how this is done

Vector parms = new Vector();
parms.addElement(new Parameter("comHdr", _ComHdr.class, ch, null));
call.setParams(parms);

Do not send e-mail directly to this e-mail address,
because it is filtered to accept only mail from
specific mail lists.

The BeanSerializer names elements based on the names of bean properties.  Therefore, the WSCredentials property of ComHdr would be serialized as <WSCredentials>....</WSCredentials>, and the UserName property of WSCredentials would be serialized as <UserName>.

Thanks alot for your response. 

Let me ask this. I still don't understand how the tags <> <> are created for WSCredentials class. 
Do they automatically get created based on the class name  and members or would I need to do something
like this within the WSCredentials class?


public class _WSCredentials {

    public string UserName 
    public string Password;

    public void setUsername( String username ) {
              UserName = "<Username>" +username +"</Username>;
   }

   public void setPassword( String password ) {
              UserName = "<Password>" +password +"</Password>;
   }


}

Thanks..
