public class Message

extends java.lang.Object

A Message is the class whose instances represent one-way messages in SOAP. While messages are one-way, they are sometimes carried on two-way transports such as HTTP. To accomodate that, the API supported here has a "receive" method as well - that is only applicable if the transport that is being used supports the receive() method (@see org.apache.soap.transport.SOAPTransport) so that this API can get at the 'response' envelope.

Message

public Message()

setSOAPTransport

public void setSOAPTransport(SOAPTransport st)

getSOAPTransport

public SOAPTransport getSOAPTransport()

send

public void send(java.net.URL url,
                 java.lang.String actionURI,
Envelope env)
          throws SOAPException

Send an envelope to the given URL via the SOAPTransport that has been configured for this instance (or SOAPHTTPConnection by default). The envelope is sent exactly as-is.

Parameters:

url - the url to send to

actionURI - the value of the SOAPAction header

env - envelope to send

Throws:

SOAPException - if something goes wrong.

receiveEnvelope

public Envelope receiveEnvelope()
                         throws SOAPException

Receive an envelope from the given transport. Only applicable where the transport supports the receive method. If the (root part of) the response does not have text/xml as the Content-Type, null will be returned. If the response is not a SOAP envelope, receive() should be used instead.

Returns:

the envelope received

Throws:

SOAPException - if something goes wrong

receive

public DataHandler receive()
                    throws SOAPException,
                           MessagingException

Receive a response from the given transport. Only applicable where the transport supports the receive method.

Returns:

the root part of the response as a DataHandler

Throws:

SOAPException - if something goes wrong

MessagingException

receive()

getRequestSOAPContext

public SOAPContext getRequestSOAPContext()

Get the request SOAPContext.

Returns:

SOAPContext

addBodyPart

public void addBodyPart(MimeBodyPart part)
                 throws MessagingException

Add a MIME BodyPart to the request MIME envelope.

Parameters:

part - The Part to be appended

Throws:

MessagingException

getResponseSOAPContext

public SOAPContext getResponseSOAPContext()

Get the response SOAPContext.

Returns:

SOAPContext

findBodyPart

public MimeBodyPart findBodyPart(java.lang.String uri)

Find the MIME part referred to by the given URI in the response MIME envelope. This can be:

• An absolute URI, in which case a part is located with a corresponding Content-Location header.
• A relative URI, in which case an absolute URI is constructed relative to the Content-Location header of the root SOAP part or the multipart and the previous rule is then applied.
• A URI of the format "cid:xxx"> in which case a part is located with a matching Content-ID header.

Returns null if the part is not found.

Note: relative URIs not entirely implemented yet.

Parameters:

uri - the URI

Returns:

the Part or null if not found

getPartCount

public int getPartCount()
                 throws MessagingException

Return the number of enclosed BodyPart objects in the response MIME envelope.

Returns:

number of parts

Throws:

MessagingException

getBodyPart

public MimeBodyPart getBodyPart(int index)
                         throws java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

Get the specified Part in the reponse MIME envelope by its index. Parts are numbered starting at 0.

Parameters:

index - the index of the desired Part

Returns:

the Part

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if no such Part exists

getRootPart

public MimeBodyPart getRootPart()
                         throws MessagingException

Get the root Part of the reponse MIME envelope, or the only part if the response wasn't multipart.

Returns:

the Part

MessagingException
