How to get SOAP message while using a Axis 1.4 wsdl2java-generated client

This is probably an easy question for anyone with any moderate expertise with web services using Apache Axis.

I have a web service client that was generated by wsdl2java in Axis 1.4. I am writing unit tests that need to access the actual SOAP message itself, and do a comparison to the client side java classes which are generated by Axis. (don't ask)

How can I retrieve the actual SOAP message from a response from the service?

From what I can gather from searching around is that I have to get the MessageContext. I have tried something along these lines...

MessageContext mc = MessageContext.getCurrentContext(); String message = mc.getCurrentMessage().getSOAPPartAsString();

But mc is null in this case....

Any help is appreciated!
