Class SOAPFactory

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory
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.

public SOAPFactory()
Method Detail

createElement

public abstract SOAPElement createElement(Name name)
                                   throws SOAPException
Create a SOAPElement object initialized with the given Name object.

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
Create 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(java.lang.String localName,
                                          java.lang.String prefix,
                                          java.lang.String uri)
                                   throws SOAPException
Create a new SOAPElement object with the given local name, prefix and uri.

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

createName

public abstract Name createName(java.lang.String localName,
                                java.lang.String prefix,
                                java.lang.String uri)
                         throws SOAPException
Creates a new Name object initialized with the given local name, namespace prefix, and namespace URI.

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

Parameters:
localName - a String giving the local name
prefix - a String giving the prefix of the namespace
uri - a String giving the URI of the namespace
Returns:
a Name object initialized with the given local name, namespace prefix, and namespace URI
Throws:
SOAPException - if there is a SOAP error

createName

public abstract Name createName(java.lang.String localName)
                         throws SOAPException
Creates a new Name object initialized with the given local name.

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

Parameters:
localName - a String giving the local name
Returns:
a Name object initialized with the given local name
Throws:
SOAPException - if there is a SOAP error

newInstance

public static SOAPFactory newInstance()
                               throws SOAPException
Creates a new instance of SOAPFactory.

Returns:
a new instance of a SOAPFactory
Throws:
SOAPException - if there was an error creating the default SOAPFactory

newInstance

public static SOAPFactory newInstance(java.lang.String s)
                               throws SOAPException
Creates a new SOAPFactory object that is an instance of the specified implementation, this method uses the SAAJMetaFactory to locate the implementation class and create the SOAPFactory instance.

Parameters:
protocol - - a string constant representing the protocol of the specified SOAP factory implementation. May be either DYNAMIC_SOAP_PROTOCOL, DEFAULT_SOAP_PROTOCOL (which is the same as) SOAP_1_1_PROTOCOL, or SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL. Returns: a new instance of a SOAPFactory
Returns:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory
Throws:
SOAPException - - if there is an error creating the specified SOAPFactory

SAAJMetaFactory

createElement

public SOAPElement createElement(org.w3c.dom.Element element)
                          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:
SAAJ 1.3

SOAPFactoryImpl

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} 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

SOAPFactoryImpl

createFault

public abstract SOAPFault createFault()
                               throws SOAPException
Throws:
SOAPException

createFault

public abstract SOAPFault createFault(java.lang.String reasonText,

                               throws SOAPException
Throws:
SOAPException
