Interface SOAPElement
-
- All Known Subinterfaces:
- Detail, DetailEntry, SOAPBody, SOAPBodyElement, SOAPEnvelope, SOAPFault, SOAPFaultElement, SOAPHeader, SOAPHeaderElement
public interface SOAPElement extends Node, Element
An object representing an element of a SOAP message that is allowed but not specifically prescribed by a SOAP specification. This interface serves as the base interface for those objects that are specifically prescribed by a SOAP specification.Methods in this interface that are required to return SAAJ specific objects may "silently" replace nodes in the tree as required to successfully return objects of the correct type. See
getChildElements()
and javax.xml.soap for details.

Creates a newSOAPElement
object initialized with the givenQName
object and adds the new element to thisSOAPElement
object. The namespace, localname and prefix of the newSOAPElement
are all taken from theqname
argument.- Parameters:
-

- aQName
object with the XML name for the new element - Returns:
-
the new
SOAPElement
object that was created - Throws:

- See Also:
-
addChildElement(Name)
addChildElement
SOAPElement addChildElement(String localName) throws SOAPException

object initialized with the specified local name and adds the new element to thisSOAPElement
object. The newSOAPElement
inherits any in-scope default namespace.- Parameters:

giving the local name for the element - Returns:
-
the new
SOAPElement
object that was created - Throws:
-
SOAPException
- if there is an error in creating theSOAPElement
object

addChildElement
SOAPElement addChildElement(SOAPElement element) throws SOAPException
Add aSOAPElement
as a child of thisSOAPElement
instance. TheSOAPElement
is expected to be created by aSOAPFactory

passed into an instance of a differentSOAPElement
implementation. For instance ifaddChildElement()
is called on aSOAPHeader
,element
will be copied into an instance of aSOAPHeaderElement
.The fragment rooted in
element
is either added as a whole or not at all, if there was an error.The fragment rooted in
element
cannot contain elements named "Envelope", "Header" or "Body" and in the SOAP namespace. Any namespace prefixes present in the fragment should be fully resolved using appropriate namespace declarations within the fragment itself.- Parameters:
-
element
- theSOAPElement
to be added as a new child - Returns:
- an instance representing the new SOAP element that was actually added to the tree.
- Throws:
-
SOAPException
- if there was an error in adding this element as a child
removeContents
void removeContents()
Detaches all children of thisSOAPElement
.This method is useful for rolling back the construction of partially completed
SOAPHeaders
andSOAPBodys
in preparation for sending a fault when an error condition is detected. It is also useful for recycling portions of a document within a SOAP message.- Since:
- SAAJ 1.2
