@Ricky, this is the correct code.

SOAPBody body = message.getSOAPBody();
QName bodyName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET", "GetAtomicNumber");
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = body.addBodyElement(bodyName);
SOAPElement symbol = bodyElement.addChildElement("MyMetal");
symbol.addTextNode("iron");
SOAPConnection connection = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance().createConnection();
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(message, endpoint);
connection.close();
message.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
response.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
