Web / Apache Axiom Interview questions

What is OMFactory used for?

OMFactory is Axiom's factory interface for creating OM tree nodes programmatically, rather than obtaining them by parsing existing XML - it's the tool you reach for when your application is generating XML from scratch.

You obtain an instance via OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory() for plain XML, or getSOAP11Factory()/getSOAP12Factory() when the content specifically needs to be SOAP-correct.

OMFactory factory = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
OMNamespace ns = factory.createOMNamespace("http://example.com/ns", "ex");
OMElement root = factory.createOMElement("Order", ns);
OMElement id = factory.createOMElement("Id", ns);
id.setText("12345");
root.addChild(id);

Every element, attribute, text node, comment, and processing instruction that isn't the direct product of parsing ultimately gets created through one of OMFactory's createOMxxx methods.

OMFactory is primarily used to:
To get an OMFactory suitable for plain (non-SOAP) XML, you call:
