How do you solder copper plumbing fittings if water is in the pipe?

I was doing some plumbing work this weekend, soldering copper pipe and fittings, and all the dry ones went well. But I had problems every time I had to solder a fitting onto a pipe that had water in it. It would just boil the water inside and never get hot enough to make a good solder connection. How do professional plumbers get around this problem?
