Soap Exception

Does anyone know what this error message means? 

[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Root element of a SOAP
message must be: 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/:Envelope'.;
targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Root element of a SOAP
message must be: 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/:Envelope'.]
at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Call.java:181)

Thanks in advance....

Liam Byrne.

It means exactly what it says, the SOAP specification says the
root element must be an Envelope in the namespace
    http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope

which is why the start of the envelope tag should look something
like this:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
   xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope"
