Interface OMSourcedElement

All Superinterfaces:

OMContainer, OMElement, OMInformationItem, OMNamedInformationItem, OMNode, OMSerializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

SOAPHeaderBlock

public interface OMSourcedElement
extends OMElement

Element whose data is backed by an arbitrary Java object. The backing Java object is accessed via the OMDataSource (or OMDataSourceExt) interface.

An OMSourcedElement can be in one of two states:

Not Expanded

In this state the backing object is used to read and write the XML.

Expanded

In this state, the OMSourcedElement is backed by a normal OM tree.

Here are the steps to place an arbitrary java object into the OM tree:

1. Write an OMDataSourceExt implementation that provides access to your Java object.
2. Use OMFactory.createOMElement(OMDataSource, String, OMNamespace) to create the OMSourcedElement.
3. Attach the OMSourcedElement to the tree.
