Direct Known Subclasses:

SOAPFactoryImpl

public abstract class SOAPFactory

extends java.lang.Object

SOAPFactory is a factory for creating various objects that exist in the SOAP XML tree. SOAPFactory can be used to create XML fragments that will eventually end up in the SOAP part. These fragments can be inserted as children of the SOAPHeaderElement or SOAPBodyElement or SOAPEnvelope. SOAPFactory also has methods to create javax.xml.soap.Detail objects as well as java.xml.soap.Name objects.

Parameters:

name - a Name object with the XML name for the new element

Returns:

the new SOAPElement object that was created

Throws:

SOAPException - if there is an error in creating the SOAPElement object

createElement

public abstract SOAPElement createElement(java.lang.String localName)
                                   throws SOAPException

Parameters:

localName - a String giving the local name for the new element

Returns:

the new SOAPElement object that was created

Throws:

SOAPException - if there is an error in creating the SOAPElement object

createElement

public abstract SOAPElement createElement(java.lang.String localName,
                                          java.lang.String prefix,
                                          java.lang.String uri)
                                   throws SOAPException

Parameters:

localName - a String giving the local name for the new element

prefix - the prefix for this SOAPElement

uri - a String giving the URI of the namespace to which the new element belongs

Returns:

the new SOAPElement object that was created

createDetail

public abstract Detail createDetail()
                             throws SOAPException

Creates a new Detail object which serves as a container for DetailEntry objects.

This factory method creates Detail objects for use in situations where it is not practical to use the SOAPFault abstraction.

Returns:

a Detail object

Throws:

SOAPException - if there is a SOAP error

createName

public abstract Name createName(java.lang.String localName,
                                java.lang.String prefix,

uri - a String giving the URI of the namespace

Returns:

a Name object initialized with the given local name, namespace prefix, and namespace URI
