The root class for all SOAP messages. As transmitted on the "wire", a SOAP message is an XML * document or a MIME message whose first body part is an XML/SOAP document.

*

*

A SOAPMessage object consists of a SOAP part and optionally one or more * attachment parts. The SOAP part for a SOAPMessage object is a SOAPPart * object, which contains information used for message routing and identification, and which can * contain application-specific content. All data in the SOAP Part of a message must be in XML * format.

*

*

A new SOAPMessage object contains the following by default:

*

*

The SOAP part of a message can be retrieved by * calling the method SOAPMessage.getSOAPPart(). The SOAPEnvelope object * is retrieved from the SOAPPart object, and the SOAPEnvelope object is * used to retrieve the SOAPBody and SOAPHeader objects.
 SOAPPart
 * sp = message.getSOAPPart(); SOAPEnvelope se = sp.getEnvelope(); SOAPBody sb = se.getBody();
 * SOAPHeader sh = se.getHeader(); 
*

*

In addition to the mandatory SOAPPart object, a SOAPMessage object * may contain zero or more AttachmentPart objects, each of which contains * application-specific data. The SOAPMessage interface provides methods for creating * AttachmentPart objects and also for adding them to a SOAPMessage * object. A party that has received a SOAPMessage object can examine its contents by * retrieving individual attachment parts.

*

*

Unlike the rest of a SOAP message, an attachment is not required to be in XML format and can * therefore be anything from simple text to an image file. Consequently, any message content that * is not in XML format must be in an AttachmentPart object.

*

*

A MessageFactory object creates new SOAPMessage objects. If the * MessageFactory object was initialized with a messaging Profile, it produces * SOAPMessage objects that conform to that Profile. For example, a * SOAPMessage object created by a MessageFactory object initialized with * the ebXML Profile will have the appropriate ebXML headers.

* * @see MessageFactory MessageFactory * @see AttachmentPart AttachmentPart */ public abstract class SOAPMessage { public SOAPMessage() { } /** * Retrieves a description of this SOAPMessage object's content. * * @return a String describing the content of this message or null if * no description has been set * @see #setContentDescription(String) setContentDescription(java.lang.String) */ public abstract String getContentDescription(); /** * Sets the description of this SOAPMessage object's content with the given * description. * * @param description a String describing the content of this message * @see #getContentDescription() getContentDescription() */ public abstract void setContentDescription(String description); /** * Gets the SOAP part of this SOAPMessage object. *

*

*
