Node-soap: How to create a complex message with specific attributes?

Question

This is the message I need to send to wsdl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://WSDLPROVIDER" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <ns1:enqueue>
            <domain xsi:type="xsd:string">STH</domain>
            <messageBodies SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">STHE</item>
            </messageBodies>
            <recipientNumbers SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[2]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">09xxxxxxxx</item>
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">09xxxxxxxx</item>
            </recipientNumbers>
            <senderNumbers SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">3000xxxxx</item>
            </senderNumbers>
            <encodings xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" />
            <udhs xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" />
            <messageClasses xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" />
            <priorities xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" />
            <checkingMessageIds SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:long[2]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
                <item xsi:type="xsd:long">100</item>
                <item xsi:type="xsd:long">101</item>
            </checkingMessageIds>
        </ns1:enqueue>
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

And so far, I've made this:

var args = {
    domain: 'STHE',
    messageBodies: {
        item: {
            attributes: {
                'xsi:type': 'xsd:string'
            },
            $value: "hi"
        }
    },
    "recipientNumbers": {
        attributes:{
            "SOAP-ENC:arrayType": "xsd:string[2]",
            "xsi:type": "SOAP-ENC:Array"
        },
        "item": {
            attributes:{
                "xsi:type": "xsd:string"
            },
            $value: "09xxxxxx"
        }
    },
    "senderNumbers": {
        attributes:{
            "SOAP-ENC:arrayType": "xsd:string[1]",
            "xsi:type": "SOAP-ENC:Array"
        },
        "item": {
            attributes: {
                "xsi:type": "xsd:string"
            },
            $value: "30xxxxx"
        }

Which results this:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:impl="WSDLPROVIDER" xmlns:intf="WSDLPROVIDER" xmlns:tns1="urn:SOAPSmsQueue">
    <soap:Header></soap:Header>
    <soap:Body>
        <impl:enqueue>
            <domain>STHE</domain>
            <messageBodies>
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">hi</item>
            </messageBodies>
            <recipientNumbers>
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">09xxxxxx</item>
            </recipientNumbers>
            <senderNumbers>
                <item xsi:type="xsd:string">30xxxxx</item>
            </senderNumbers>
        </impl:enqueue>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I tried to use attributes on messageBodies part, but any combination I used failed with no change in the output.

Is there any way to pass the message in XML instead of Json interface?

Any help will be appreciated.

Assuming that enqueue is a SOAP method defined in the WSDL and you're calling it from the node-soap-created client, I would go with something like:

args: {
    attributes: {
        'xmlns:xsd':'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema',
        'xmlns:xsi':'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance',
        'xmlns:SOAP-ENC':'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'
    },
    $value: {
        'domain': {
            attributes: {'xsi:type':'xsd:string'},
            $value: 'STH'
        },
        'messageBodies': {
            attributes: {
                'SOAP-ENC:arrayType':'xsd:string[1]',
                'xsi:type':'SOAP-ENC:Array'
            },
            $value: {
                'item': {
                    attributes: {'xsi:type':'xsd:string'},
                    $value: [
                        'STHE'
                    ]
                }
            }
        },
        'recipientNumbers': {
            attributes: {
                'SOAP-ENC:arrayType':'xsd:string[2]',

                    $value: [
                        '09xxxxxxxx',
                        '09xxxxxxxx'
                    ]
                }
            }
        },
        'senderNumbers': {
            attributes: {
                'SOAP-ENC:arrayType':'xsd:string[1]',
                'xsi:type':'SOAP-ENC:Array'
            },
            $value: {
                'item': {
                    attributes: {'xsi:type':'xsd:string'},
                    $value: [
                        '3000xxxxx'
                    ]
                }

            }
        },
        'encodings': {
            attributes: {
                'xsi:nil':'true',

            }

            }
        },
        'messageClasses': {
            attributes: {
                'xsi:nil':'true',

    }    
}
