SOAPFactory is a factory for creating various objects that exist in the SOAP XML tree. SOAPFactory can be used to create XML fragments that will eventually end up in the SOAP part. These fragments can be inserted as children of the SOAPHeaderElement or SOAPBodyElement or SOAPEnvelope or other SOAPElement objects. SOAPFactory also has methods to create javax.xml.soap.Detail objects as well as java.xml.soap.Name objects.
Since:1.6

Creates a SOAPElement object from an existing DOM Element. If the DOM Element that is passed in as an argument is already a SOAPElement then this method must return it unmodified without any further work. Otherwise, a new SOAPElement is created and a deep copy is made of the domElement argument. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name of the domElement argument. If any part of the tree rooted in domElement violates SOAP rules, a SOAPException will be thrown.
Params:
  • domElement – the Element to be copied.
Throws:
  • SOAPException – if there is an error in creating the SOAPElement object
Returns:a new SOAPElement that is a copy of domElement.
Since:1.6, SAAJ 1.3
