Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
SOAPHeaderBlock	addHeaderBlock(String localName, OMNamespace ns) Creates a new SOAPHeaderBlock object initialized with the specified name and adds it to this SOAPHeader object.
Iterator	examineAllHeaderBlocks() Returns an Iterator over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object.
Iterator	examineHeaderBlocks(String role) Returns a list of all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the the specified role.
Iterator	examineMustUnderstandHeaderBlocks(String role) Returns an Iterator over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the specified role and that have a MustUnderstand attribute whose value is equivalent to true.
Iterator	extractAllHeaderBlocks() Returns an Iterator over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object and detaches them from this SOAPHeader object.
Iterator	extractHeaderBlocks(String role) Returns a list of all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the the specified role and detaches them from this SOAPHeader object.
ArrayList	getHeaderBlocksWithNSURI(String nsURI) Return all the Headers that has the Namespace URI to given NS URI.
Iterator	getHeadersToProcess(RolePlayer rolePlayer) Get the appropriate set of headers for a RolePlayer.
Iterator	getHeadersToProcess(RolePlayer rolePlayer, String namespace) Get the appropriate set of headers for a RolePlayer in a particular namespace The RolePlayer indicates whether it is the ultimate destination (in which case headers with no role or the explicit UltimateDestination role will be included), and any non-standard roles it supports.

Method Detail

addHeaderBlock

SOAPHeaderBlock addHeaderBlock(String localName,
                               OMNamespace ns)
                        throws OMException

Creates a new SOAPHeaderBlock object initialized with the specified name and adds it to this SOAPHeader object.

Parameters:

localName -

ns -

Returns:

the new SOAPHeaderBlock object that was inserted into this SOAPHeader object

Throws:

OMException - if a SOAP error occurs

getHeadersToProcess

Iterator getHeadersToProcess(RolePlayer rolePlayer)

Get the appropriate set of headers for a RolePlayer. The RolePlayer indicates whether it is the ultimate destination (in which case headers with no role or the explicit UltimateDestination role will be included), and any non-standard roles it supports. Headers targeted to "next" will always be included, and those targeted to "none" (for SOAP 1.2) will never be included.

Returns:

an Iterator over all the HeaderBlocks this RolePlayer should process.

examineHeaderBlocks

Iterator examineHeaderBlocks(String role)

Returns a list of all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the the specified role. An role is a global attribute that indicates the intermediate parties to whom the message should be sent. An role receives the message and then sends it to the next role. The default role is the ultimate intended recipient for the message, so if no role attribute is included in a SOAPHeader object, the message is sent to its ultimate destination.

Parameters:

role - a String giving the URI of the role for which to search

Returns:

Returns an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects that contain the specified role

See Also:

extractHeaderBlocks(java.lang.String)

extractHeaderBlocks

Iterator extractHeaderBlocks(String role)

Returns a list of all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the the specified role and detaches them from this SOAPHeader object.

This method allows an role to process only the parts of the SOAPHeader object that apply to it and to remove them before passing the message on to the next role.

Parameters:

role - a String giving the URI of the role for which to search

Returns:

Returns an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects that contain the specified role

See Also:

examineHeaderBlocks(java.lang.String)

examineMustUnderstandHeaderBlocks

Iterator examineMustUnderstandHeaderBlocks(String role)

Returns an Iterator over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object that have the specified role and that have a MustUnderstand attribute whose value is equivalent to true.

Parameters:

role - a String giving the URI of the role for which to search

Returns:

Returns an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects that contain the specified role and are marked as MustUnderstand.

examineAllHeaderBlocks

Iterator examineAllHeaderBlocks()

Returns an Iterator over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object.

Returns:

an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects contained by this SOAPHeader. If there are no header blocks then an empty iterator is returned.

extractAllHeaderBlocks

Iterator extractAllHeaderBlocks()

Returns an Iterator over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects in this SOAPHeader object and detaches them from this SOAPHeader object.

Returns:

Returns an Iterator object over all the SOAPHeaderBlock objects contained by this SOAPHeader

getHeaderBlocksWithNSURI

ArrayList getHeaderBlocksWithNSURI(String nsURI)

Return all the Headers that has the Namespace URI to given NS URI.

Parameters:

nsURI -

Returns:

Returns ArrayList.

getHeadersToProcess

Iterator getHeadersToProcess(RolePlayer rolePlayer,
                             String namespace)

Get the appropriate set of headers for a RolePlayer in a particular namespace

The RolePlayer indicates whether it is the ultimate destination (in which case headers with no role or the explicit UltimateDestination role will be included), and any non-standard roles it supports. Headers targeted to "next" will always be included, and those targeted to "none" (for SOAP 1.2) will never be included.

This version of the API allows us to iterate only once over the headers searching for a particular namespace for headers targeted at "us".

Parameters:

rolePlayer - a RolePlayer containing our role configuration

namespace - if specified, we'll only return headers from this namespace

Returns:

an Iterator over all the HeaderBlocks this RolePlayer should process.
