Interface Name
-
public interface Name
A representation of an XML name. This interface provides methods for getting the local and namespace-qualified names and also for getting the prefix associated with the namespace for the name. It is also possible to get the URI of the namespace.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 theName
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 methodSOAPEnvelope.createName
, which has two versions. One method createsName
objects with a local name, a namespace prefix, and a namespace URI. and the second createsName
objects with just a local name. The following line of code, in which se is aSOAPEnvelope
object, creates a newName
object with all three.
The following line of code gives an example of how aName name = se.createName("GetLastTradePrice", "WOMBAT", "http://www.wombat.org/trader");
Name
object can be used. The variable element is aSOAPElement
object. This code creates a newSOAPElement
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 ofjavax.xml.namespace.QName

- 1.6
