nsISOAPBlock in Firefox 1.5

Implemented by

 This interface encapsulates an arbitrary block to be used
 by the soap serialization or protocol.  It presents the
 namespaceURI, name, encoding, schemaType, and value of the
 block.  There are two different ways this may be used:
 <p>1.  When created by a user for serialization, a value is set
 which is then used to encode the message.  In this case, the
 user sets the value (or element in the case of a literal
 block) which is then encoded (unless it is the element) 
 and incorporated into the document as it is encoded.
 <p>2.  When requested by the user from a message that is to
 be decoded.  In this case, an element is set on the block
 which is automatically decoded whenever the value attribute is
 accessed (possibly after the user sets the encoding or schemaType,
 or for literal blocks, the user just accesses the element and
 no decoding is performed.  For SOAP which attachments, hidden 
 attachments may also be associated from the message to the block 
 so that later decoding which relies on the attachments is possible.

Attributes

  The element which is the encoded value of this block.
  If this is set, value, namespaceURI, and name becomes a 
  computed attributes which are produced by decoding this 
  element.

attribute nsIDOMElement element

 The encoding that was / will be applied to the
 block.  If this is blank and element is non-null,
 it becomes impossible to decode the block when
 the value is requested.

attribute nsISOAPEncoding encoding

 The name of the block. If the block is left unnamed, it
 will be encoded using the element types defined in the SOAP-ENC
 schema. For example, <code>&lt;SOAP-ENC:int&gt;45&lt;/SOAP-ENC:int&gt;
 </code>.  If this is modified, element is set to null and all 
 attributes computed from element revert to previous uncomputed
 values.  If element is set, this becomes computed.

attribute AString name

  The namespace URI of the block.  Ignored if name is null.
  If this is modified, element is set to null and all 
  attributes computed from element revert to previous
  uncomputed values.  If element is set, this becomes computed.

attribute AString namespaceURI

 The schema type used to encode or decode the
   block.  If this is null, then the default
   encoder or decoder may

attribute nsISchemaType schemaType

  The native value which is the decoded value of 
  this block.  If this is modified, element is set
  to null and all attributes computed from element 
  revert to previous uncomputed values.  If element 
  is set, this becomes computed, relying on the 
  value of encoding and schemaType each time it is 
  computed.

attribute nsIVariant value

Methods

  Initialize the block for additional decoding information.

 @param aAttachments Attachments in case this refers to them.

 @param aVersion SOAP version for decoding special header attributes.
