SOAPBody and SOAPHeaderElement?

[Denis Goeury <dg...@workspeed.com>]

Does anybody know why SOAPBody.getChildElements(Name name) deals with
SOAPHeaderElements instead of SOAPBodyElements?

Here is Axis' source code:

package org.apache.axis.message;

public class SOAPBody extends MessageElement
    implements javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody {

    ...

    public java.util.Iterator getChildElements(Name name) {
        Vector v = new Vector();
        Enumeration e = bodyElements.elements();
        SOAPHeaderElement header;
        while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
            header = (SOAPHeaderElement)e.nextElement();
            if (header.getNamespaceURI().equals(name.getURI()) &&
                header.getName().equals(name.getLocalName())) {
                v.addElement(header);
            }
        }
        return v.iterator();
    }

    ...

}

Thanks,

Denis
