/**
 * A container for DetailEntry objects. DetailEntry objects give detailed
 * error information that is application-specific and related to the SOAPBody object
 * that contains it.
 * 
 * A Detail object, which is part of a SOAPFault object, can be retrieved
 * using the method SOAPFault.getDetail. The Detail interface provides two
 * methods. One creates a new DetailEntry object and also automatically adds it to the
 * Detail object. The second method gets a list of the DetailEntry objects
 * contained in a Detail object.
 * 

 * The following code fragment, in which sf is a SOAPFault object, gets its
 * Detail object (d), adds a new DetailEntry object to d,
 * and then gets a list of all the DetailEntry objects in d. The code also
 * creates a Name object to pass to the method addDetailEntry. The
 * variable se, used to create the Name object, is a SOAPEnvelope
 * object. 
 Detail d = sf.getDetail(); Name name = se.createName("GetLastTradePrice", "WOMBAT",
 * "http://www.wombat.org/trader"); d.addDetailEntry(name); Iterator it = d.getDetailEntries();
