SOAP Envelope is dropped when sending message out in WSO2

Question

I am trying to build a SOAP message with a proper envelope then body but I am unable to get it. Below are the lines of code I am writing to build it.

<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
    <format>
        <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
            <soapenv:Body>
                <prov>
                    <abc>123456</abc>
                    <xyz>789</xyz>
                </prov>
            </soapenv:Body>
        </soapenv:Envelope>
    </format>
    <args/>
</payloadFactory>
<property name="OUT_ONLY" scope="default" type="STRING" value="true"/>
<property name="messageType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>
<call>
    <endpoint key="ActiveMQ_EP"/>
</call>
<respond/>

The result I am getting is as follows:

<prov xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <abc>123456</abc>
    <xyz>789</xyz>
</prov>

There isn't proper SOAP payload with Envelope then body and then prov instead its starting with prov. Any help in this matter would be very helpful. Thank You

Set the following property before sending the message out.

<property name="messageType" value="text/xml" scope="axis2"/>

Update

Try forcing soap1.1 message with format="soap11" flag in your endpoint configuration. This will work with both HTTP and Address Endpoints.

<call>
    <endpoint>
        <http method="post" uri-template="http://localhost:81/post" format="soap11"> 
            <suspendOnFailure>
                <initialDuration>-1</initialDuration>
                <progressionFactor>-1</progressionFactor>
                <maximumDuration>0</maximumDuration>
            </suspendOnFailure>
            <markForSuspension>
                <retriesBeforeSuspension>0</retriesBeforeSuspension>
            </markForSuspension>
        </http>
    </endpoint>
</call>

If you are ok with SOAP 1.2 messages you can also try adding the following message type.

<property name="messageType" value="application/soap+xml" scope="axis2"/>

But for SOAP 1.2 you may have to alter the Payload accordingly.
