Goal

On PeopleTools 8.5x, Integration Broker, implementing PeopleSoft integrations with third-party web service providers and clients, such as Java and .NET based.

Supposing there is a company policy that requires XML SOAP documents used for such integrations to comply with specific strict formatting rules, for example:
- the XML Declaration to have explicit "encoding" attribute set to 'UTF-8', that is, to be "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>" even though it is the default;
- the namespace prefix to SOAP envelope tags to be certain value, e.g. "soap:" and not any other like "SOAP-ENV:" that PeopleCode class SOAPDoc generates.

Is it possible to make PeopleSoft to comply, in particular to have PeopleCode class SOAPDoc to generate XML SOAP documents in that format, and if yes, how?
