Thanks, I see it now. I still have some way to go and an example of this would be a great help. If anyone has some code they would like to share with me that shows all the steps involved in signing a SOAP envelope I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,
Erik

You can sign any part or parts of a given XML document. Check XPath
and/or XPath2 transforms description in the spec.

You have to create 2 dsig:Signatures for this.
