In general you should not need to manually modify the SOAP namespace. What you probably want to achieve is to create a SOAP 1.2 message (which has a different namespace than SOAP 1.1). Try removing all namespace altering lines from your code and change the first line to

final SOAPMessage sm = MessageFactory.newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL).createMessage();

In case you REALLY need to specify which prefix that should be used, this code seems to work:

SOAPMessage sm = MessageFactory.newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL).createMessage();
sm.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().setPrefix("soap");
sm.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().removeNamespaceDeclaration("env");
sm.getSOAPHeader().setPrefix("soap");
sm.getSOAPBody().setPrefix("soap");
