Using Dispatch API with SOAPMessage type fails to set WS-Addressing action header properly if there's whitespace after the soap:body

if you use a SOAPMessage instead of a Source then the following function fails (ignoring the exception) and your ws-addressing action doesn't get set- if you have any whitespace after the soap:body element before your first payload element:
private String getPayloadElementName(SOAPMessage soapMessage) {
try

{ SOAPElement element = (SOAPElement)soapMessage.getSOAPBody().getChildElements().next(); return new QName(element.getNamespaceURI(), element.getLocalName()).toString(); }

catch (Exception e)

{ //ignore }

return null;

}

This fails because the .next() call at the end gets a text node instead of an element object so the cast fails. So inexplicably your ws-addressing action header doesn't get set as far as the user sees.
