Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AsyncHandler<T>	The AsyncHandler interface is implemented by clients that wish to receive callback notification of the completion of service endpoint operations invoked asynchronously.
Binding	The Binding interface is the base interface for JAX-WS protocol bindings.
BindingProvider	The BindingProvider interface provides access to the protocol binding and associated context objects for request and response message processing.
Dispatch<T>	The Dispatch interface provides support for the dynamic invocation of a service endpoint operations.
LogicalMessage	The LogicalMessage interface represents a protocol agnostic XML message and contains methods that provide access to the payload of the message.
Provider<T>	Service endpoints may implement the Provider interface as a dynamic alternative to an SEI.
Response<T>	The Response interface provides methods used to obtain the payload and context of a message sent in response to an operation invocation.
WebServiceContext	A WebServiceContext makes it possible for a web service endpoint implementation class to access message context and security information relative to a request being served.

Class Summary

Class	Description
Endpoint	A Web service endpoint.
EndpointContext	EndpointContext allows multiple endpoints in an application to share any information.
EndpointReference	This class represents an WS-Addressing EndpointReference which is a remote reference to a web service endpoint.
Holder<T>	Holds a value of type T.
RespectBindingFeature	This feature clarifies the use of the wsdl:binding in a JAX-WS runtime.
Service	Service objects provide the client view of a Web service.
WebServiceFeature	A WebServiceFeature is used to represent a feature that can be enabled or disabled for a web service.
WebServicePermission	This class defines web service permissions.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Service.Mode	The orientation of a dynamic client or service.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
ProtocolException	The ProtocolException class is a base class for exceptions related to a specific protocol binding.
WebServiceException	The WebServiceException class is the base exception class for all JAX-WS API runtime exceptions.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
Action	The Action annotation allows explicit association of a WS-Addressing Action message addressing property with input, output, and fault messages of the mapped WSDL operation.
BindingType	The BindingType annotation is used to specify the binding to use for a web service endpoint implementation class.
FaultAction	The FaultAction annotation is used inside an Action annotation to allow an explicit association of a WS-Addressing Action message addressing property with the fault messages of the WSDL operation mapped from the exception class.
RequestWrapper	Used to annotate methods in the Service Endpoint Interface with the request wrapper bean to be used at runtime.
RespectBinding	This feature clarifies the use of the wsdl:binding in a JAX-WS runtime.
ResponseWrapper	Used to annotate methods in the Service Endpoint Interface with the response wrapper bean to be used at runtime.
ServiceMode	Used to indicate whether a Provider implementation wishes to work with entire protocol messages or just with protocol message payloads.
WebEndpoint	Used to annotate the getPortName() methods of a generated service interface.
WebFault	Used to annotate service specific exception classes to customize to the local and namespace name of the fault element and the name of the fault bean.
WebServiceClient	Used to annotate a generated service interface.
WebServiceProvider	Used to annotate a Provider implementation class.
WebServiceRef	The WebServiceRef annotation is used to define a reference to a web service and (optionally) an injection target for it.
WebServiceRefs	The WebServiceRefs annotation allows multiple web service references to be declared at the class level.
