SOAPFactory (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory

```
public abstract class SOAPFactory
extends Object
```
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.

public SOAPFactory()
```
- Method Detail
  - createElement
```
public SOAPElement createElement(Element domElement)
                          throws SOAPException
```
    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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    domElement - - the Element to be copied.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new SOAPElement that is a copy of domElement.
    
    Throws:
    
    SOAPException - if there is an error in creating the SOAPElement object
    
    Since:
    
    SAAJ 1.3
  - createElement
```
public abstract SOAPElement createElement(Name name)
                                   throws SOAPException
```
    Creates a SOAPElement object initialized with the given Name object. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name given to the new SOAPElement. For instance, a new SOAPElement with the name "{http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope" would cause a SOAPEnvelope that supports SOAP 1.2 behavior to be created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a Name object with the XML name for the new element
    
    Returns:
    
    the new SOAPElement object that was created
    
    Throws:
    
    SOAPException - if there is an error in creating the SOAPElement object

    createElement(javax.xml.namespace.QName)
  - createElement
```
public SOAPElement createElement(QName qname)
                          throws SOAPException
```
    Creates a SOAPElement object initialized with the given QName object. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name given to the new SOAPElement. For instance, a new SOAPElement with the name "{http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope" would cause a SOAPEnvelope that supports SOAP 1.2 behavior to be created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    qname - a QName object with the XML name for the new element
    
    Returns:
    
    the new SOAPElement object that was created
    
    Throws:
    
    SOAPException - if there is an error in creating the SOAPElement object

```
    Creates a SOAPElement object initialized with the given local name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    localName - a String giving the local name for the new element
    
    Returns:
    
    the new SOAPElement object that was created

                                   throws SOAPException
```
    Creates a new SOAPElement object with the given local name, prefix and uri. The concrete type of the return value will depend on the name given to the new SOAPElement. For instance, a new SOAPElement with the name "{http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope" would cause a SOAPEnvelope that supports SOAP 1.2 behavior to be created.

```
public static SOAPFactory newInstance()
                               throws SOAPException
```
    Creates a new SOAPFactory object that is an instance of the default implementation (SOAP 1.1), This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the SOAPFactory implementation class to load:
    - Use the javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory system property.
    - Use the properties file "lib/jaxm.properties" in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above.
    - Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look for a classname in the file META-INF/services/javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory in jars available to the runtime.
    - Use the SAAJMetaFactory instance to locate the SOAPFactory implementation class.
    Returns:
    
    a new instance of a SOAPFactory
    
    Throws:
    
    SOAPException - if there was an error creating the default SOAPFactory

  - newInstance
```
public static SOAPFactory newInstance(String protocol)
                               throws SOAPException
```
    Creates a new SOAPFactory object that is an instance of the specified implementation, this method uses the SAAJMetaFactory to locate the implementation class and create the SOAPFactory instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    protocol - a string constant representing the protocol of the specified SOAP factory implementation. May be either DYNAMIC_SOAP_PROTOCOL, DEFAULT_SOAP_PROTOCOL (which is the same as) SOAP_1_1_PROTOCOL, or SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new instance of a SOAPFactory
    
    Throws:
    
    SOAPException - if there was an error creating the specified SOAPFactory
    
    Since:
    
    SAAJ 1.3
