- * 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.
