Most SAAJ classes are actually subclasses of org.w3c.dom. For instance SOAPPart is a Document. So you could just do something like:

public Element invokeInternal(Element requestElement, Document doc) {
  SOAPMessage message = MessageFactory.newInstance().createMessage();
  SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
  Element imported sp.importNode(requestElement, true);
  SOAPBody sb = message.getSOAPBody();
  sb.appendChild(imported);
}
