Method Detail

getContentType

String getContentType()
Gives non-null Content-Type header value.


getSOAPActionHeader

String getSOAPActionHeader()
Gives SOAPAction transport header value. It will be non-null only for SOAP 1.1 messages. In other cases it MUST be null. The SOAPAction transport header should be written out only when its non-null.

Returns:
It can be null, in that case SOAPAction header should be written.

getAcceptHeader

String getAcceptHeader()
Controls the Accept transport header, if the transport supports it. Returning null means the transport need not add any new header.

We realize that this is not an elegant abstraction, but this would do for now. If another person comes and asks for a similar functionality, we'll define a real abstraction.
