/**
* A representation of the SOAP header element. A SOAP header
* element consists of XML data that affects the way the
* application-specific content is processed by the message
* provider. For example, transaction semantics, authentication
* information, and so on, can be specified as the content of a
* {@code SOAPHeader} object.
*
* A {@code SOAPEnvelope} object contains an empty {@code
* SOAPHeader} object by default. If the {@code
* SOAPHeader} object, which is optional, is not needed, it
* can be retrieved and deleted with the following line of code.
* The variable se is a {@code SOAPEnvelope}
* object.
*
* se.getHeader().detachNode();
*
* A {@code SOAPHeader} object is created with the {@code
* SOAPEnvelope} method {@code addHeader}. This method,
* which creates a new header and adds it to the envelope, may be
* called only after the existing header has been removed.
*
* se.getHeader().detachNode();
* SOAPHeader sh = se.addHeader();
*
*
* A {@code SOAPHeader} object can have only {@code
* SOAPHeaderElement} objects as its immediate children. The
* method {@code addHeaderElement} creates a new {@code
* HeaderElement} object and adds it to the {@code
* SOAPHeader} object. In the following line of code, the
* argument to the method {@code addHeaderElement} is a
* {@code Name} object that is the name for the new {@code
* HeaderElement} object.
*
* SOAPHeaderElement shElement = sh.addHeaderElement(name);
