Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`OMInformationItem`	`clone(OMCloneOptions options)` Clone this information item.
`OMFactory`	`getOMFactory()` Get the `OMFactory` corresponding to the type of this information item.

- Method Detail
  - getOMFactory
```
OMFactory getOMFactory()
```
    Get the OMFactory corresponding to the type of this information item. For information items created using one of the methods defined by OMFactory, this is the instance returned by OMMetaFactory.getOMFactory() (for the OMMetaFactory corresponding to the implementation of the Axiom API this information item belongs to). For information items created by one of the methods defined by SOAPFactory, this is the SOAPFactory instance for the corresponding SOAP version.
    This means that the returned factory will be a SOAPFactory only if the method is called on a SOAPMessage or an OMElement that implements one of the SOAP specific extension interfaces.
    
    Returns:
    
    the OMFactory corresponding to this information item
  - clone
```
OMInformationItem clone(OMCloneOptions options)
```
    Clone this information item. If the information item is a container, then its descendants will be cloned recursively. Note that in this case, this method will traverse the descendants and create clones immediately. It will also preserve the original nodes. This means that after the execution of this method, both the returned clone and the original container will be completely built.
    
    Parameters:
    
    options - the options to use when cloning this element and its descendants; for object models with domain specific extensions (such as SOAP), this may be a subclass of OMCloneOptions
    
    Returns:
    
    the cloned element
