Copy full XML to output as string

In my XSLT, I need to copy the full SOAP/XML message into a string in the output XML.
How do I do that?

<xsl:copy-of> can be used to copy the nodes. If this answer is not sufficient, just post the input xml, your xslt and the needed output xml. We shall provide you the solution.

I do the:

<xsl:copy-of select="ancestor-or-self::node()"/>

and it pulls in the input XML file exactly like I want EXCEPT that the envelope tag is missing...
If you look at my input XML and the output, you will notice that the "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org..." line is missing from the output. Why is this? How do I rectify this?

Here is the input XML:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <soapenv:Header soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
    <soapenv:Body soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
        <bea:RouterService 		xmlns:bea="http://www.bea.com/servers/wls70/samples/examples/webservices/basic/statelessSession">
            <string xsi:type="xsd:string">ABCDEFG</string>
        </bea:RouterService>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

and here is my xslt

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:copy-of select="ancestor-or-self::node()"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and here is my output

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><string><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <soapenv:Header soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
    <soapenv:Body soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
        <bea:RouterService xmlns:bea="http://www.bea.com/servers/wls70/samples/examples/webservices/basic/statelessSession">
            <string xsi:type="xsd:string">XDO267A61897</string>
        </bea:RouterService>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope></string>
