Annotation Type WebService


  • @Retention(RUNTIME)

    public @interface WebService
    Marks a Java class as implementing a Web Service, or a Java interface as defining a Web Service interface.
    • Optional Element Summary

      Optional Elements 
      Modifier and Type Optional Element Description
      String endpointInterface
      The complete name of the service endpoint interface defining the service's abstract Web Service contract.
      String name
      The name of the Web Service.
      String portName
      The port name of the Web Service.
      String serviceName
      The service name of the Web Service.
      String targetNamespace
      If the @WebService.targetNamespace annotation is on a service endpoint interface, the targetNamespace is used for the namespace for the wsdl:portType (and associated XML elements).
      String wsdlLocation
      The location of a pre-defined WSDL describing the service.
    • Element Detail

      • name

        String name
        The name of the Web Service.

        Used as the name of the wsdl:portType when mapped to WSDL 1.1.

        Returns:
        the name of the Web Service
        Default:
        ""
      • targetNamespace

        String targetNamespace
        If the @WebService.targetNamespace annotation is on a service endpoint interface, the targetNamespace is used for the namespace for the wsdl:portType (and associated XML elements).

        If the @WebService.targetNamespace annotation is on a service implementation bean that does NOT reference a service endpoint interface (through the endpointInterface attribute), the targetNamespace is used for both the wsdl:portType and the wsdl:service (and associated XML elements).

        If the @WebService.targetNamespace annotation is on a service implementation bean that does reference a service endpoint interface (through the endpointInterface attribute), the targetNamespace is used for only the wsdl:service (and associated XML elements).

        Returns:
        the targetNamespace annotation
        Default:
        ""
      • serviceName

        String serviceName
        The service name of the Web Service.

        Used as the name of the wsdl:service when mapped to WSDL 1.1.

        This member-value is not allowed on endpoint interfaces.

        Returns:
        the service name
        Default:
        ""
      • portName

        String portName
        The port name of the Web Service.

        Used as the name of the wsdl:port when mapped to WSDL 1.1.

        This member-value is not allowed on endpoint interfaces.

        Returns:
        the port name
        Default:
        ""
      • wsdlLocation

        String wsdlLocation
        The location of a pre-defined WSDL describing the service.

        The wsdlLocation is a URL (relative or absolute) that refers to a pre-existing WSDL file. The presence of a wsdlLocation value indicates that the service implementation bean is implementing a pre-defined WSDL contract. The JSR-181 tool MUST provide feedback if the service implementation bean is inconsistent with the portType and bindings declared in this WSDL. Note that a single WSDL file might contain multiple portTypes and multiple bindings. The annotations on the service implementation bean determine the specific portType and bindings that correspond to the Web Service.

        Returns:
        the location of a pre-defined WSDL
        Default:
        ""
      • endpointInterface

        String endpointInterface
        The complete name of the service endpoint interface defining the service's abstract Web Service contract.

        This annotation allows the developer to separate the interface contract from the implementation. If this annotation is present, the service endpoint interface is used to determine the abstract WSDL contract (portType and bindings). The service endpoint interface MAY include JSR-181 annotations to customize the mapping from Java to WSDL.
        The service implementation bean MAY implement the service endpoint interface, but is not REQUIRED to do so.
        If this member-value is not present, the Web Service contract is generated from annotations on the service implementation bean. If a service endpoint interface is required by the target environment, it will be generated into an implementation-defined package with an implementation- defined name

        This member-value is not allowed on endpoint interfaces.

        Returns:
        the complete name of the service endpoint interface
        Default:
        ""
