All Superinterfaces:

public interface SOAPBody
extends SOAPElement

An object that represents the contents of the SOAP body element in a SOAP message. A SOAP body element consists of XML data that affects the way the application-specific content is processed.

A SOAPBody object contains SOAPBodyElement objects, which have the content for the SOAP body. A SOAPFault object, which carries status and/or error information, is an example of a SOAPBodyElement object.

Method Details

addBodyElement

public abstract SOAPBodyElement addBodyElement(Name name)
            throws SOAPException
Creates a new SOAPBodyElement object with the specified name and adds it to this SOAPBody object.
Parameters:
name - a Name object with the name for the new SOAPBodyElement object
Returns:
the new SOAPBodyElement object
Throws:
SOAPException - if a SOAP error occurs

addDocument

public abstract SOAPBodyElement addDocument(Document document)
            throws SOAPException
Adds the root node of the DOM Document to this SOAPBody object.

Calling this method invalidates the document parameter. The client application should discard all references to this Document and its contents upon calling addDocument. The behavior of an application that continues to use such references is undefined.

Parameters:
document - the Document object whose root node will be added to this SOAPBody
Returns:
the SOAPBodyElement that represents the root node that was added
Throws:
SOAPException - if the Document cannot be added

addFault

public abstract SOAPFault addFault()
            throws SOAPException
Creates a new SOAPFault object and adds it to this SOAPBody object.
Returns:
the new SOAPFault object
Throws:
SOAPException - if there is a SOAP error

addFault

public abstract SOAPFault addFault(Name faultCode,
                                   String faultString)
            throws SOAPException
Creates a new SOAPFault object and adds it to this SOAPBody object. The new SOAPFault will have a faultcode element that is set to the faultCode parameter and a faultstring set to faultstring.
Parameters:
faultCode - a Name object giving the fault code to be set; must be one of the fault codes defined in the SOAP 1.1 specification and of type QName
faultString - a String giving an explanation of the fault
Returns:
the new SOAPFault object
Throws:
SOAPException - if there is a SOAP error

addFault

public abstract SOAPFault addFault(Name faultCode,
                                   String faultString,
                                   Locale locale)
            throws SOAPException
Creates a new SOAPFault object and adds it to this SOAPBody object. The new SOAPFault will have a faultcode element that is set to the faultCode parameter and a faultstring set to faultstring and localized to locale.
Parameters:
faultCode - a Name object giving the fault code to be set; must be one of the fault codes defined in the SOAP 1.1 specification and of type QName
faultString - a String giving an explanation of the fault
locale - a Locale object indicating the native language of the faultString
Returns:
the new SOAPFault object
Throws:
SOAPException - if there is a SOAP error

getFault

public abstract SOAPFault getFault()
Returns the SOAPFault object in this SOAPBody object.
Returns:
the SOAPFault object in this SOAPBody object

hasFault

public abstract boolean hasFault()
Indicates whether a SOAPFault object exists in this SOAPBody object.
Returns:
true if a SOAPFault object exists in this SOAPBody object; false otherwise
