public interface Detail
extends SOAPFaultElement

A container for DetailEntry objects. DetailEntry objects give detailed error information that is application-specific and related to the SOAPBody object that contains it.

A Detail object, which is part of a SOAPFault object, can be retrieved using the method SOAPFault.getDetail. The Detail interface provides two methods. One creates a new DetailEntry object and also automatically adds it to the Detail object. The second method gets a list of the DetailEntry objects contained in a Detail object.

The following code fragment, in which sf is a SOAPFault object, gets its Detail object (d), adds a new DetailEntry object to d, and then gets a list of all the DetailEntry objects in d. The code also creates a Name object to pass to the method addDetailEntry. The variable se, used to create the Name object, is a SOAPEnvelope object.

    Detail d = sf.getDetail();
    Name name = se.createName("GetLastTradePrice", "WOMBAT",
                                "http://www.wombat.org/trader");
    d.addDetailEntry(name);
    Iterator it = d.getDetailEntries();
