```
static final String DYNAMIC_SOAP_PROTOCOL

    Used to create MessageFactory instances that create SOAPMessages whose concrete type is based on the Content-Type MIME header passed to the createMessage method. If no Content-Type header is passed then the createMessage may throw an IllegalArgumentException or, in the case of the no argument version of createMessage, an UnsupportedOperationException.
