javax.wsdl.factory

Class WSDLFactory

Known Direct Subclasses:
WSDLFactoryImpl

public abstract class WSDLFactory
extends java.lang.Object

This abstract class defines a factory API that enables applications to obtain a WSDLFactory capable of producing new Definitions, new WSDLReaders, and new WSDLWriters. Some ideas used here have been shamelessly copied from the wonderful JAXP and Xerces work.

Method Details

newDefinition

public Definition newDefinition()
Create a new instance of a Definition.


newInstance

public static WSDLFactory newInstance()
            throws WSDLException
Get a new instance of a WSDLFactory. This method follows (almost) the same basic sequence of steps that JAXP follows to determine the fully-qualified class name of the class which implements WSDLFactory. The steps (in order) are:
  Check the javax.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactory system property.
  Check the lib/wsdl.properties file in the JRE directory. The key
 will have the same name as the above system property.
  Use the default value.
Once an instance of a WSDLFactory is obtained, invoke newDefinition(), newWSDLReader(), or newWSDLWriter(), to create the desired instances.


newInstance

public static WSDLFactory newInstance(String factoryImplName)
            throws WSDLException
Get a new instance of a WSDLFactory. This method returns an instance of the class factoryImplName. Once an instance of a WSDLFactory is obtained, invoke newDefinition(), newWSDLReader(), or newWSDLWriter(), to create the desired instances.

Parameters:
factoryImplName - the fully-qualified class name of the class which provides a concrete implementation of the abstract class WSDLFactory.


newPopulatedExtensionRegistry

public ExtensionRegistry newPopulatedExtensionRegistry()
Create a new instance of an ExtensionRegistry with pre-registered serializers/deserializers for the SOAP, HTTP and MIME extensions. Java extensionTypes are also mapped for all the SOAP, HTTP and MIME extensions.


newWSDLReader

public WSDLReader newWSDLReader()
Create a new instance of a WSDLReader.


newWSDLWriter

public WSDLWriter newWSDLWriter()
Create a new instance of a WSDLWriter.
