Good question.

Is there a standard way of specifying which method you wish to call?

I would presume so.  If there is then I would imagine that you use the
standard way to specify which method you wanted to call and then you
would just pass the given XML string as is to the method and return the
exact XML string which the SOAP method returns back to the programmer.

If there isn't, then I would imagine you would just pass the XML string
as is to the SOAP server and appending any headers that are necessary
and then strip any unecessary headers from the response and hand that
back to the programmer.

Make sense?
