Indeed, this is the correct class to use invoke a service.
The problem you encountered below is that unfortunately Crimson does not 
handle null namespaces as per the XML Namespaces spec (as Crimson is no 
longer being actively maintained).  I suggest you use Apache Xerces as 
your XML parser, and the appliucation should not fail.  As Mark pointed 
out though, you'll get an empty response, if that NCBI_ig typo from your 
e-mail in the input, though it looks like your actual input is okay from 
the message below.

If you don't have Xerces, it can be downloaded as a jar from 
http://xml.apache.org/.  If you do have it, but it's not your default 
XML parser, you can make it the default with any number of techniques as 
described at that site, or define a rather verbose system property on 
the command line Java invocation:
 "-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.*xerces*.*jaxp*.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl"

Good Luck!
