All Known Subinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:

DatabindingImpl

public interface Databinding

Databinding is the entry point for all the WebService Databinding functionality. Primarily, a Databinding is to serialize/deserialize an XML(SOAP) message to/from a JAVA method invocation and return which are represented as JavaCallInfo instances. A WSDLGenerator can be created from a Databinding object to genreate WSDL representation of a JAVA service endpoint interface.

The supported databinding modes(flavors) are:

• "toplink.jaxb"
• "glassfish.jaxb"

Following is an example that creates a Databinding which provides the operations to serialize/deserialize a JavaCallInfo to/from a SOAP message:

 DatabindingFactory factory = DatabindingFactory.newInstance();
 Databinding.Builder builder = factory.createBuilder(seiClass, endpointClass);
 Databinding databinding = builder.build();
