SOAP message with javax.xml.soap - namespace error?

The following is a generic sample SOAP request for .NET web service I'm supposed to invoke from my java web app:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
               xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <soap:Body>
  <setAMRequestData xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
    <id>int</id>
  </setAMRequestData>
 </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I am able to generate something similar from java console application using this code segment:

import javax.xml.XMLConstants;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPBodyElement;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
...
SOAPConnectionFactory sfc = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = sfc.createConnection();
MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage sm = mf.createMessage();

SOAPHeader sh = sm.getSOAPHeader();
SOAPBody sb = sm.getSOAPBody();
sh.detachNode();

QName bodyName = new QName("http://tempuri.org/", "setAMRequestData", XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX);
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = sb.addBodyElement(bodyName);
QName n = new QName("id");                                          
SOAPElement quotation = bodyElement.addChildElement(n);
quotation.addTextNode("121152");

The result is the following XML:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <setAMRequestData xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
   <id>121152</id>
  </setAMRequestData>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

This invokes the service. Next, I used soapUI to try to invoke this service, and it generated soap message from WSDL like this (it differs from the previous in the namespace declaration in envelope, and prefixes):

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                  xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
 <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
   <tem:setAMRequestData>
     <tem:id>?</tem:id>
   </tem:setAMRequestData>
  </soapenv:Body>
 </soapenv:Envelope>

This also works from soapUI. But finally, when I tried to recreate this form of soap message using this code sequence:

// factories and stuff, like in the example above
SOAPPart part = sm.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("tem", "http://tempuri.org/");

SOAPHeader sh = sm.getSOAPHeader();
SOAPBody sb = sm.getSOAPBody();
sh.detachNode();

QName bodyName = new QName(null, "setAMRequestData", "tem");
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = sb.addBodyElement(bodyName);
QName n = new QName(null, "id", "tem");
SOAPElement quotation = bodyElement.addChildElement(n);
quotation.addTextNode("7028");

I got the following exception in line SOAPElement quotation = bodyElement.addChildElement(n);:

org.w3c.dom.DOMException: NAMESPACE_ERR: An attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces.

No matter what I tried, I simply couldn't set "tem" prefix for the id element... What is going on here?

Thanks.

You are binding a namespace uri to a prefix and later try to create an element with the same prefix but with a null namespace uri:

envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("tem", "http://tempuri.org/");
...
QName bodyName = new QName(null, "setAMRequestData", "tem");

An element is identified by the combination of namespace uri and local name. To solve this problem you have to specify the namespace on each element you create:

QName bodyName = new QName("http://tempuri.org/", "setAMRequestData", "tem");
...
QName n = new QName("http://tempuri.org/", "id", "tem");
