| /** |
| * A representation of an XML name. This interface provides methods for getting the local and |
| * namespace-qualified names and also for getting the prefix associated with the namespace for the |
| * name. It is also possible to get the URI of the namespace. |
| * <p/> |
| * The following is an example of a namespace declaration in an element. <PRE> |
| * <wombat:GetLastTradePrice xmlns:wombat="http://www.wombat.org/trader"> </PRE> ("xmlns" |
| * stands for "XML namespace".) The following shows what the methods in the <code>Name</code> |
| * interface will return. <UL> <LI><code>getQualifiedName</code> will return "prefix:LocalName" = |
| * "WOMBAT:GetLastTradePrice" <LI><code>getURI</code> will return "http://www.wombat.org/trader" |
| * <LI><code>getLocalName</code> will return "GetLastTracePrice" <LI><code>getPrefix</code> will |
| * return "WOMBAT" </UL> |
| * <p/> |
| * XML namespaces are used to disambiguate SOAP identifiers from application-specific identifiers. |
| * <p/> |
| * <code>Name</code> objects are created using the method <code>SOAPEnvelope.createName</code>, |
| * which has two versions. One method creates <code>Name</code> objects with a local name, a |
| * namespace prefix, and a namespace URI. and the second creates <code>Name</code> objects with just |
| * a local name. The following line of code, in which <i>se</i> is a <code>SOAPEnvelope</code> |
| * object, creates a new <code>Name</code> object with all three. <PRE> Name name = |
| * se.createName("GetLastTradePrice", "WOMBAT", "http://www.wombat.org/trader"); </PRE> The |
| * following line of code gives an example of how a <code>Name</code> object can be used. The |
| * variable <i>element</i> is a <code>SOAPElement</code> object. This code creates a new |
| * <code>SOAPElement</code> object with the given name and adds it to <i>element</i>. <PRE> |
| * element.addChildElement(name); </PRE> |
