| * 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); |
