package javax.xml.soap;


SOAPElementFactory is a factory for XML fragments that will eventually end up in the SOAP part. These fragments can be inserted as children of the SOAPHeader or SOAPBody or SOAPEnvelope. 
Elements created using this factory do not have the properties
of an element that lives inside a SOAP header document. These
elements are copied into the XML document tree when they are
inserted.

See Also:
Deprecated:- Use javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory for creating SOAPElements.
Since:1.6
