SoapUIClientService transforms targeted at #document fragment are lost because SoapUIClientServicealready holds a ref to the old DOM Document root element

Fix is very easy.... just modify the SoapUIClientService.buildSOAPMessage() where if calls Smooks ... as follows...

From...

if(smooksResource != null)

{ applySmooksTransform(smooksResource, messageDoc); }

To...

if(smooksResource != null)

{ applySmooksTransform(smooksResource, messageDoc); // reassign the docRoot variable after transform... in case it was replaced by a #document transform... docRoot = messageDoc.getDocumentElement(); }
