public AnyHelper()

Method Detail

toText

public static MessageElement[] toText(Object obj)

Populates a SOAP MessageElement array with a single object.

Parameters:

obj - object to be serialized as a text node

Returns:

content of any element as a SOAP MessageElement array

toAnyArray

public static MessageElement[] toAnyArray(Object[] obj)

Populates a SOAP MessageElement array with an array of arbitrary objects.

Parameters:

obj - array of objects to be serialized in the any element

Returns:

content of any element as a SOAP MessageElement array

toAnyArray

public static MessageElement[] toAnyArray(Object obj)

Populates a SOAP MessageElement array with a single object.

Parameters:

obj - object to be serialized in the any element

Returns:

content of any element as a SOAP MessageElement array

toAnyArray

public static MessageElement[] toAnyArray(org.w3c.dom.Element element)

Populates a SOAP MessageElement array with a single DOM element.

Parameters:

element - element to be inserted in the any element

Returns:

content of any element as a SOAP MessageElement array

toAnyTypeElement

public static MessageElement toAnyTypeElement(Object obj)

Populates a SOAP MessageElement with an arbitrary object, and wraps it inside of a value element with an xsi:type attribute. This is similar to using the xsd:any in the same way you would use xsd:anyType objects.

Parameters:

obj - object to be serialized in the any element

Returns:

content of any element as a SOAP MessageElement

toAny

public static MessageElement toAny(Object obj)

Populates a SOAP MessageElement with an arbitrary object.

Parameters:

obj - object to be serialized in the any element.

Returns:

content of any element as a SOAP MessageElement
