I just tried this and it isn't likely to work in my case. Since what I 
am sending is XML passed as the content there are no parameters that can
be found using the above approach. Follows is the sort of message being
sent (header included, and I have reduced the example to the
essentials):


--- EXAMPLE START
POST /myapp/myservlet HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 1075
Host: localhost
user-agent: experimental
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <SOAP:Header>
   </SOAP:Header>
   <SOAP:Body>
   </SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
--- EXAMPLE END
