Please implement SizeAwareDataSource

Deprecated Classes

This class is no longer used in Axiom 1.2.13 and will be removed in Axiom 1.3.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder.DataHandlerReaderUtils
Use the corresponding methods in XMLStreamReaderUtils instead.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.EmptyOMLocation
use DummyLocation.INSTANCE instead

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MIMEOutputUtils
The features of this class are now implemented by OMMultipartWriter, which has as cleaner API and supports streaming of individual MIME parts, in particular the SOAP part.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.traverse.OMChildElementIterator
This type of iterator should always be created using OMElement.getChildElements(), and this class should never be referenced directly. It will be removed in Axiom 1.3.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.traverse.OMChildrenLegacyQNameIterator

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.traverse.OMChildrenLocalNameIterator
This type of iterator should always be created using OMContainer.getChildrenWithLocalName(String), and this class should never be referenced directly. It will be removed in Axiom 1.3.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.traverse.OMChildrenNamespaceIterator
This type of iterator should always be created using OMContainer.getChildrenWithNamespaceURI(String), and this class should never be referenced directly. It will be removed in Axiom 1.3.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.traverse.OMChildrenQNameIterator
This type of iterator should always be created using OMContainer.getChildrenWithName(QName), and this class should never be referenced directly. It will be removed in Axiom 1.3.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.UUIDGenerator
Please use one of the specialized methods in the UIDGenerator class. In contrast to what its name suggests, the UUIDGenerator.getUUID() method doesn't return a UUID. It also doesn't return a valid URN with uuid NID. See AXIS2-4527 for more information.

Deprecated Fields

This method will be removed in a future release of Axiom. See OMXMLStreamReader.setInlineMTOM(boolean) for more details.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MTOMXMLStreamWriter.isOptimized()
Serialization code should use XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandler, String, boolean) or XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, org.apache.axiom.ext.stax.datahandler.DataHandlerProvider, String, boolean) to submit any binary content and let this writer decide whether the content should be written as base64 encoded character data or using xop:Include. This makes optimization entirely transparent for the caller and there should be no need to check if the writer is producing MTOM.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MTOMXMLStreamWriter.isOptimizedThreshold(OMText)
Serialization code should use XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandler, String, boolean) or XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandlerProvider, String, boolean) to submit any binary content and let this writer decide whether the content should be written as base64 encoded character data or using xop:Include. If this is not possible, then MTOMXMLStreamWriter.prepareDataHandler(DataHandler) should be used. All the aforementioned methods take into account the settings defined in OMOutputFormat to determine whether the binary data should be optimized or not. Therefore, there is not need for this method anymore.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util.OMSerializerUtil.isSetPrefixBeforeStartElement(XMLStreamWriter)
This method was used to work around a StAX conformance issue in early versions of the XL XP-J parser. This is now handled by StAXDialect, and this method always returns false.

Returns an XMLInputFactory instance for reuse.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.StAXUtils.releaseXMLOutputFactory(XMLOutputFactory)
Returns an XMLOutputFactory instance for reuse.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.StAXUtils.reset()

org.apache.axiom.om.util.ElementHelper.resolveQName(String)
The algorithm used by this method is incorrect. See AXIOM-356 for more details.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.ElementHelper.resolveQName(String, boolean)
The algorithm used by this method is incorrect. See AXIOM-356 for more details.

This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an OMElement.

org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serialize(Writer)
This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an OMElement.

org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serialize(Writer, OMOutputFormat)

org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serializeAndConsume(OutputStream, OMOutputFormat)
This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an OMElement.

org.apache.axiom.om.OMNode.serializeAndConsume(Writer)

This method is not meaningful on a node in general, but only on an OMElement.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util.OMSerializerUtil.serializeAttribute(OMAttribute, XMLStreamWriter)
use serializeStartpart instead

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util.OMSerializerUtil.serializeAttributes(OMElement, XMLStreamWriter)
Consider using serializeStartpart instead

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util.OMSerializerUtil.serializeNamespace(OMNamespace, XMLStreamWriter)
Use serializeStartpart instead

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.util.OMSerializerUtil.serializeNamespaces(OMElement, XMLStreamWriter)
Use serializeStartpart instead

org.apache.axiom.om.OMOutputFormat.setAutoCloseWriter(boolean)

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder.StAXOMBuilder.setDoDebug(boolean)

org.apache.axiom.om.OMXMLStreamReader.setInlineMTOM(boolean)
To return optimized base64 content as xop:Include elements, wrap the reader using XOPEncodingStreamReader or use the more generic XOPUtils.getXOPEncodedStream(XMLStreamReader) method. This method introduces unnecessary complexity in the XMLStreamReader implementation used by Axiom and will be removed in a future release.

org.apache.axiom.soap.SOAPFaultNode.setNodeValue(String)
This method conflicts with Node.setNodeValue(String) and will be removed in Axiom 1.3. Please use SOAPFaultNode.setFaultNodeValue(String) instead.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MIMEOutputUtils.startWritingMime(OutputStream, String)
Use OMMultipartWriter instead.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.TextHelper.toOMText(byte[], int, int, OMFactory, boolean)
The implementation of this method is incomplete. It will be removed in Axiom 1.3.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.TextHelper.toOMText(byte[], int, int, OMFactory, boolean, String)

Use OMMultipartWriter instead.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MIMEOutputUtils.writeMM7Message(StringWriter, OutputStream, Attachments, OMOutputFormat, String, String)
Axiom only supports standard SwA messages. However, OMMultipartWriter provides a flexible way to build MIME packages for non standard formats such as MM7.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MTOMXMLStreamWriter.writeOptimized(OMText)
Serialization code should use XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandler, String, boolean) or XMLStreamWriterUtils.writeDataHandler(XMLStreamWriter, DataHandlerProvider, String, boolean) to submit any binary content and let this writer decide whether the content should be written as base64 encoded character data or using xop:Include. If this is not possible, then MTOMXMLStreamWriter.prepareDataHandler(DataHandler) should be used.

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.MIMEOutputUtils.writeSOAPWithAttachmentsMessage(StringWriter, OutputStream, Attachments, OMOutputFormat)
Use OMMultipartWriter instead.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.ElementHelper.writeTextTo(OMElement, Writer, boolean)
