Interface SOAPHeaderBlock

All Superinterfaces:

OMContainer, OMElement, OMNode

public interface SOAPHeaderBlock

extends OMElement

An object representing the contents in the SOAP header part of the SOAP envelope. The immediate children of a SOAPHeader object can be represented only as SOAPHeaderBlock objects.

B SOAPHeaderBlock object can have other OMElement objects as its children.

Method Detail

setRole

public void setRole(java.lang.String roleURI)

Sets the actor associated with this SOAPHeaderBlock object to the specified actor.

Parameters:

roleURI - a String giving the URI of the actor to set

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is a problem in setting the actor.

See Also:

getRole()

getRole

public java.lang.String getRole()

Returns the uri of the actor associated with this SOAPHeaderBlock object.

Returns:

a String giving the URI of the actor

See Also:

setRole(java.lang.String)

setMustUnderstand

public void setMustUnderstand(boolean mustUnderstand)

Sets the mustUnderstand attribute for this SOAPHeaderBlock object to be on or off.

If the mustUnderstand attribute is on, the actor who receives the SOAPHeaderBlock must process it correctly. This ensures, for example, that if the SOAPHeaderBlock object modifies the message, that the message is being modified correctly.

Parameters:

mustUnderstand - true to set the mustUnderstand attribute on; false to turn if off

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is a problem in setting the actor.

See Also:

getMustUnderstand()

setMustUnderstand

public void setMustUnderstand(java.lang.String mustUnderstand)
                       throws SOAPProcessingException

Throws:

SOAPProcessingException

getMustUnderstand

public boolean getMustUnderstand()
                          throws SOAPProcessingException

Returns whether the mustUnderstand attribute for this SOAPHeaderBlock object is turned on.

Returns:

true if the mustUnderstand attribute of this SOAPHeaderBlock object is turned on; false otherwise

Throws:

SOAPProcessingException

isProcessed

public boolean isProcessed()

setProcessed

public void setProcessed()

We need to know whether all the mustUnderstand headers have been processed by the node. This will done by a specific validation handler at the end of the execution chain. For this all the handlers who process a particular header block must explicitly say that he processesd the header by calling setProcessed()

setRelay

public void setRelay(boolean relay)

Sets the relay attribute for this SOAPHeaderBlock to be either true or false. The SOAP relay attribute is set to true to indicate that the SOAP header block must be relayed by any node that is targeted by the header block but not actually process it.

Parameters:

relay - a boolean giving the value to be set

getRelay

public boolean getRelay()

Returns the relay status associated with this SOAPHeaderBlock object.

Returns:

a boolean giving the relay status

getVersion

public SOAPVersion getVersion()

What SOAP version is this HeaderBlock?

Returns:

a SOAPVersion, one of the two singletons.
