Interface SOAPHeaderBlock

All Superinterfaces:

OMContainer, OMElement, OMInformationItem, OMNamedInformationItem, OMNode, OMSerializable, OMSourcedElement

public interface SOAPHeaderBlock
extends OMSourcedElement

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.

Field Detail

ROLE_PROPERTY

static final String ROLE_PROPERTY

A SOAPHeaderBlock may be represented as an unexpanded OMSourcedElement. In such cases, the underlying OMDataSource may have a property that contains the value of the ROLE/ACTOR, RELAY or MUST_UNDERSTAND setting.

RELAY_PROPERTY

Method Detail

setRole

void setRole(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:

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

See Also:

getRole()

getRole

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

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:

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

See Also:

getMustUnderstand()

getMustUnderstand

boolean getMustUnderstand()
                   throws SOAPProcessingException

Returns the boolean value of the mustUnderstand attribute for this header block.

Returns:

true if a mustUnderstand attribute is present and its value is equivalent to true, false if the mustUnderstand is not present or its value is equivalent to false

Throws:

SOAPProcessingException - if the mustUnderstand attribute is present, but has an invalid value

isProcessed

boolean isProcessed()

setProcessed

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

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

boolean getRelay()

Returns the relay status associated with this SOAPHeaderBlock object.

Returns:

a boolean giving the relay status

getVersion

SOAPVersion getVersion()

What SOAP version is this HeaderBlock?

Returns:

a SOAPVersion, one of the two singletons.
