## Class SOAPElementFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.xml.soap.SOAPElementFactory

- Deprecated.
  - Use `javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory` for creating SOAPElements.

      public class SOAPElementFactory
      extends Object

  `SOAPElementFactory` is a factory for XML fragments that will eventually end up in the SOAP part. These fragments can be inserted as children of the `SOAPHeader` or `SOAPBody` or `SOAPEnvelope`.

  Elements created using this factory do not have the properties of an element that lives inside a SOAP header document. These elements are copied into the XML document tree when they are inserted.

    `SOAPFactory`
