<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap:Body>
    <po:poNumber xmlns:po="http://actioncon.com/schema/po">
      123456
    </po:poNumber>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Example 11.2 - A modest SOAP message containing a purchase order number.


<soap:Envelope
  xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" ...>
  <soap:Header>
    <wsse:Security ...>
      <wsse:BinarySecurityToken ...>
        ...
      </wsse:BinarySecurityToken>
      <ds:Signature>
        ...
      </ds:Signature>
    </wsse:Security>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body ...>
    <po:poNumber
      xmlns:po="http://actioncon.com/schema/po">

    </po:poNumber>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
