That is not parsing the XML. That's unmarshalling objects from a DOM. The
DOM already exists. Parsing is what happens when you go from XML to a DOM
tree.

This has nothing to do with SAML or OpenSAML.

No, it isn't. You're missing all of the code that is giving you these
objects:

>             SOAPHeader sh = smc.getMessage().getSOAPHeader();
>             // check for wsse:security element under SOAP Header
>             Node wsseElement = sh.getFirstChild();

The DOM is already broken at that point because it was parsed without
namespace awareness.
