Constructor Detail

SOAPHeader

public SOAPHeader(java.lang.String namespace,
                  java.lang.String localPart,
                  java.lang.String qName,
                  org.xml.sax.Attributes attributes,
                  DeserializationContext context,
                  SOAPConstants soapConsts)

Method Detail

setParentElement

public void setParentElement(SOAPElement parent)
                      throws SOAPException

Description copied from interface: Node

Sets the parent of this Node object to the given SOAPElement object.

Specified by:

setParentElement in interface Node

Overrides:

setParentElement in class MessageElement

Following copied from interface: javax.xml.soap.Node

Parameters:

parent - the SOAPElement object to be set as the parent of this Node object

Throws:

SOAPException - if there is a problem in setting the parent to the given element

See Also:

getParentElement()

detachNode

public void detachNode()

Description copied from interface: Node

Removes this Node object from the tree. Once removed, this node can be garbage collected if there are no application references to it.

Specified by:

detachNode in interface Node

Overrides:

detachNode in class MessageElement

addHeaderElement

public SOAPHeaderElement addHeaderElement(Name name)
                                   throws SOAPException

Description copied from interface: SOAPHeader

Creates a new SOAPHeaderElement object initialized with the specified name and adds it to this SOAPHeader object.

Specified by:

addHeaderElement in interface SOAPHeader

Following copied from interface: javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader

Parameters:

name - a Name object with the name of the new SOAPHeaderElement object

Returns:

the new SOAPHeaderElement object that was inserted into this SOAPHeader object

Throws:

SOAPException - if a SOAP error occurs

examineHeaderElements

public java.util.Iterator examineHeaderElements(java.lang.String actor)

Description copied from interface: SOAPHeader

Returns a list of all the SOAPHeaderElement objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the the specified actor. An actor is a global attribute that indicates the intermediate parties to whom the message should be sent. An actor receives the message and then sends it to the next actor. The default actor is the ultimate intended recipient for the message, so if no actor attribute is included in a SOAPHeader object, the message is sent to its ultimate destination.

Specified by:

examineHeaderElements in interface SOAPHeader

Following copied from interface: javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader

Parameters:

actor - a String giving the URI of the actor for which to search

Returns:

an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderElement objects that contain the specified actor

See Also:

extractHeaderElements(java.lang.String)

extractHeaderElements

public java.util.Iterator extractHeaderElements(java.lang.String actor)

Description copied from interface: SOAPHeader

Returns a list of all the SOAPHeaderElement objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the the specified actor and detaches them from this SOAPHeader object.

This method allows an actor to process only the parts of the SOAPHeader object that apply to it and to remove them before passing the message on to the next actor.

Specified by:

extractHeaderElements in interface SOAPHeader

Following copied from interface: javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader

Parameters:

actor - a String giving the URI of the actor for which to search

Returns:

an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderElement objects that contain the specified actor

See Also:

examineHeaderElements(java.lang.String)

outputImpl

protected void outputImpl(SerializationContext context)
                   throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from class: MessageElement

Subclasses can override

Overrides:

outputImpl in class MessageElement
