Annotation Type WebServiceRef

@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface WebServiceRef

The WebServiceRef annotation is used to define a reference to a web service and (optionally) an injection target for it. Web service references are resources in the Java EE 5 sense.

Since:

JAX-WS 2.0

Resource

Optional Element Summary
String	mappedName           A product specific name that this resource should be mapped to.
String	name           The JNDI name of the resource.
Class	type           The Java type of the resource.
Class	value           The service class, always a type extending javax.xml.ws.Service.
String	wsdlLocation           A URL pointing to the WSDL document for the web service.

 

name

public abstract String name

The JNDI name of the resource. For field annotations, the default is the field name. For method annotations, the default is the JavaBeans property name corresponding to the method. For class annotations, there is no default and this must be specified.

Default:

""

type

public abstract Class type

The Java type of the resource. For field annotations, the default is the type of the field. For method annotations, the default is the type of the JavaBeans property. For class annotations, there is no default and this must be specified.

Default:

java.lang.Object.class

mappedName

public abstract String mappedName

A product specific name that this resource should be mapped to. The name of this resource, as defined by the name element or defaulted, is a name that is local to the application component using the resource. (It's a name in the JNDI java:comp/env namespace.) Many application servers provide a way to map these local names to names of resources known to the application server. This mapped name is often a global JNDI name, but may be a name of any form.

Application servers are not required to support any particular form or type of mapped name, nor the ability to use mapped names. The mapped name is product-dependent and often installation-dependent. No use of a mapped name is portable.

Default:

""

value

public abstract Class value

The service class, always a type extending javax.xml.ws.Service. This element must be specified whenever the type of the reference is a service endpoint interface.

Default:

java.lang.Object.class

wsdlLocation

public abstract String wsdlLocation

A URL pointing to the WSDL document for the web service. If not specified, the WSDL location specified by annotations on the resource type is used instead.

Default:

""
