package com.tutorialspoint;

import javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;

public class MessageFactoryDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         // create a new SOAPMessage
         SOAPMessage message = MessageFactory.newInstance()
            .createMessage();
         
         //print the SOAPMessage on the console
         message.writeTo(System.out);
