Provider
implementations can use javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage
objects when the following conditions are true:
-
the
Provider
implementation is using the SOAP binding. -
the
Provider
implementation is using message mode.
A SOAPMessage
object, as the name implies, holds a SOAP message. They
contain one SOAPPart
object and zero or more AttachmentPart
objects. The SOAPPart
object contains the SOAP specific portions of the SOAP
message including the SOAP envelope, any SOAP headers, and the SOAP message body. The
AttachmentPart
objects contain binary data that was passed as an
attachment.
