The Singleton
|
The Message class encapsulates the data (e.g. DOM tree) and the necessary operations to
build a generic SOAP message. Its subclasses ReqMsg and RespMsg extend both its
knowledge and behaviour to reflect the singular aspects of both request and response
message types.
Because the doContent() abstract method of the base class does not as such provide any default implementation, both subclasses must implement it, providing the behaviour necessary to build the actual content of the message. This behaviour is specific to a message type. The build method of the base class is invoked to create the SOAP header and part of the SOAP body. It then calls the relevant implementation of doContent() to complete the message. |
