package javax.xml.soap;
/**
* The container for the SOAPHeader and SOAPBody portions of a
* SOAPPart object. By default, a SOAPMessage
* object is created with a SOAPPart object that has a
* SOAPEnvelope object. The SOAPEnvelope object
* by default has an empty SOAPBody object and an empty
* SOAPHeader object. The SOAPBody object is
* required, and the SOAPHeader object, though
* optional, is used in the majority of cases. If the
* SOAPHeader object is not needed, it can be deleted,
* which is shown later.
*
* A client can access the SOAPHeader and SOAPBody
* objects by calling the methods SOAPEnvelope.getHeader and
* SOAPEnvelope.getBody. The
* following lines of code use these two methods after starting with
* the SOAPMessage
* object message to get the SOAPPart object sp,
* which is then used to get the SOAPEnvelope object se.
*
*
* SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
* SOAPEnvelope se = sp.getEnvelope();
* SOAPHeader sh = se.getHeader();
* SOAPBody sb = se.getBody();
*
*
* It is possible to change the body or header of a SOAPEnvelope
* object by retrieving the current one, deleting it, and then adding
* a new body or header. The javax.xml.soap.Node method
* deleteNode deletes the XML element (node) on which it is
* called. For example, the following line of code deletes the
* SOAPBody object that is retrieved by the method getBody.
*
* se.getBody().detachNode();
*
* To create a SOAPHeader object to replace the one that was removed,
* a client uses
* the method SOAPEnvelope.addHeader, which creates a new header and
* adds it to the SOAPEnvelope object. Similarly, the method
* addBody creates a new SOAPBody object and adds
* it to the SOAPEnvelope object. The following code fragment
* retrieves the current header, removes it, and adds a new one. Then
* it retrieves the current body, removes it, and adds a new one.
*
*
* SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
* SOAPEnvelope se = sp.getEnvelope();
* se.getHeader().detachNode();
* SOAPHeader sh = se.addHeader();
* se.getBody().detachNode();
* SOAPBody sb = se.addBody();
*
* It is an error to add a SOAPBody or SOAPHeader
* object if one already exists.
*
* The SOAPEnvelope interface provides three methods for creating
* Name objects. One method creates Name objects with
* a local name, a namespace prefix, and a namesapce URI. The second method creates
* Name objects with a local name and a namespace prefix, and the third
* 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");
