Class SOAPFactory

javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory

public abstract class SOAPFactory
extends 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 or other SOAPElement objects. SOAPFactory also has methods to create javax.xml.soap.Detail objects as well as java.xml.soap.Name objects.

Method Detail

createElement

public SOAPElement createElement(Element domElement)
                          throws SOAPException

Creates a SOAPElement object from an existing DOM Element. If the DOM Element that is passed in as an argument is already a SOAPElement then this method must return it unmodified without any further work. Otherwise, a new SOAPElement is created and a deep copy is made of the domElement argument. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name of the domElement argument. If any part of the tree rooted in domElement violates SOAP rules, a SOAPException will be thrown.

Parameters:

domElement - - the Element to be copied.

Returns:

a new SOAPElement that is a copy of domElement.

Throws:

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

Since:

1.6, SAAJ 1.3

createElement

public abstract SOAPElement createElement(Name name)
                                   throws SOAPException

Creates a SOAPElement object initialized with the given Name object. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name given to the new SOAPElement. For instance, a new SOAPElement with the name "{http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope" would cause a SOAPEnvelope that supports SOAP 1.2 behavior to be created.

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(javax.xml.namespace.QName)

createElement

public SOAPElement createElement(QName qname)
                          throws SOAPException

Creates a SOAPElement object initialized with the given QName object. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name given to the new SOAPElement. For instance, a new SOAPElement with the name "{http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope" would cause a SOAPEnvelope that supports SOAP 1.2 behavior to be created.

Parameters:

qname - a QName 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

Since:

1.6, SAAJ 1.3

createElement(Name)

createElement

public abstract SOAPElement createElement(String localName)
                                   throws SOAPException

Creates a SOAPElement object initialized with the given local name.

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(String localName,
                                          String prefix,
                                          String uri)
                                   throws SOAPException

Creates a new SOAPElement object with the given local name, prefix and uri. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name given to the new SOAPElement. For instance, a new SOAPElement with the name "{http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope" would cause a SOAPEnvelope that supports SOAP 1.2 behavior to be created.

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

Throws:

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

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

createFault

public abstract SOAPFault createFault(String reasonText,

newInstance

public static SOAPFactory newInstance()
                               throws SOAPException

Creates a new SOAPFactory object that is an instance of the default implementation (SOAP 1.1). This method uses the lookup procedure specified in javax.xml.soap to locate and load the SOAPFactory class.

Returns:

a new instance of a SOAPFactory
