public interface Name
The following is an example of a namespace declaration in an element.
<wombat:GetLastTradePrice xmlns:wombat="http://www.wombat.org/trader">("xmlns" stands for "XML namespace".) The following shows what the methods in the
Name
interface will return.
getQualifiedName
will return "prefix:LocalName" =
"WOMBAT:GetLastTradePrice"
getURI
will return "http://www.wombat.org/trader"
getLocalName
will return "GetLastTracePrice"
getPrefix
will return "WOMBAT"
XML namespaces are used to disambiguate SOAP identifiers from application-specific identifiers.
Name
objects are created using the method
SOAPEnvelope.createName
, which has two versions.
One method creates Name
objects with
a local name, a namespace prefix, and a namespace URI.
and the second creates Name
objects with just a local name.
The following line of
code, in which se is a SOAPEnvelope
object, creates a new
Name
object with all three.
Name name = se.createName("GetLastTradePrice", "WOMBAT", "http://www.wombat.org/trader");The following line of code gives an example of how a
Name
object
can be used. The variable element is a SOAPElement
object.
This code creates a new SOAPElement
object with the given name and
adds it to element.
element.addChildElement(name);
The Name
interface may be deprecated in a future release of SAAJ
in favor of javax.xml.namespace.QName
