mule simple web client soap request with wsdl - web-services

Question

I would like to make request to web service from mule flow. So far I got WSDL generate classes (wsdl2java), prepared flow (below), and "successfully" send request. Now, problem is, that even thou I have taken base class from generated class and put it in payload it does not generate required soap.
My flow:
<flow name="flow1" doc:name="flow1">
<quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="testingJob" repeatInterval="10810000" repeatCount="0" startDelay="5000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">
<quartz:event-generator-job groupName="g1job" jobGroupName="g1job">
<quartz:payload>a</quartz:payload>
</quartz:event-generator-job>
</quartz:inbound-endpoint>
<logger message="Starting quartz for testing purpouses" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<custom-transformer class="com.example.GenerateSimpleRoutePublish" doc:name="Java"/>
<cxf:simple-client doc:name="SOAP" serviceClass="com.example.ws.MyWebService" operation="send">
</cxf:simple-client>
<logger message="#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="9094" path="sync-server-web/services/myws" method="POST" connector-ref="http_internal" doc:name="HTTP"/>
</flow>
GenerateSimpleRoutePublish just put base object into payload and move on.
Result that is sent as soap request:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:send xmlns:ns1="http://somenamespace.si/">
<ns1:arg0>
<ns1:MyRequest>
...
But it should look like this:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:send xmlns:ns1="http://somenamespace.si/">
<ns1:MyRequest>
...
Notice that is not there anymore in desired xml.
Anyone knows how to achieve that? I did googled a lot but just don't find right solution. If more is required then I can provide info.
Thanks!

}
public MuleMessage transformMessage(MuleMessage message, String outputEncoding) throws TransformerException {
MyRequest myRequest = new MyRequest();
/**
* some filling of testing data that is formatted correctly when soap is sent.
*/
Send send = new Send();
send.setMSyequest(myRequest);//the only setter method available for Send
message.setPayload(send);
return message;

Send.java methods and xml definition:

public MyRequest getMyRequest()
public void setMyRequest(MyRequest value)

Instead of using a custom-transformer you could use Groovy script to send SOAP request to webservice client just as Java pojo class... Please check the reference :- https://m-square.com.au/consuming-net-wcf-soap-web-services-from-mule/
