## javax.xml.soap
Class SOAPFactory

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

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` or other `SOAPElement` objects. `SOAPFactory` also has methods to create `javax.xml.soap.Detail` objects as well as `java.xml.soap.Name` objects.

Constructor Summary
`SOAPFactory()`

Method Summary
`abstract Detail` | `createDetail()` Creates a new `Detail` object which serves as a container for `DetailEntry` objects.
`abstract SOAPElement` | `createElement(Name name)` Create a `SOAPElement` object initialized with the given `Name` object.
`abstract SOAPElement` | `createElement(java.lang.String localName)` Create a `SOAPElement` object initialized with the given local name.
`abstract SOAPElement` | `createElement(java.lang.String localName, java.lang.String prefix, java.lang.String uri)` Create a new `SOAPElement` object with the given local name, prefix and uri.
`abstract Name` | `createName(java.lang.String localName)` Creates a new `Name` object initialized with the given local name.
`abstract Name` | `createName(java.lang.String localName, java.lang.String prefix, java.lang.String uri)` Creates a new `Name` object initialized with the given local name, namespace prefix, and namespace URI.
`static SOAPFactory` | `newInstance()` Creates a new instance of `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
  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
