This sample will build, deploy an invoke a simple Web service.

This sample demonstrates the use of annotations to customize the parameter name, operation name, targetNamespace, and other similar features when developing a Web service when starting from Java.

The annotations are contained in the src/annotations/server/AddNumbersImpl.java and src/annotations/server/AddNumbersIF.java.  The src/annotations/server/ AddNumbersImpl.java containes one @WebService annotation with an endpointInterface element pointing to the annotations.server.AddNumbersIF class.

The annotations.server.AddNumbersIF class uses the following annotations:

    - @WebService(targetNamespace = http://duke.example.org",name="AddNumbers")

    This annotation sets the targetNamespace for the WSDL that will contain the
    wsdl:portType for this endpoint.  the "name" element specifies the name
    of the wsdl:portType element to be 'AddNumbers'.

    - @SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC, use=SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL)

    This annotatiion specifies that the endpoint should be be rpc/literal.

    - @WebMethod(operationName="add", action="urn:addNumbers")

    This annotation customizes the wsdl:operationName to be 'add' and the
    soap:operation's soapAction attribute to be 'urn:addNumbers'.

    - @WebResult(name="return")
    This annotation specifies that the localpart of the return element should
    be 'return'.

    - @WebParam(name="num1")int number1 and @WebParam(name="num2")int number2)

    This annotations changes the wsdl:message partName for the parameters to
    'num1' and 'num2' instead of 'number1' and 'number2'.

* etc - configuration files
    * build.properties, deploy-targets.xml ant script to deploy the endpoint
      war file
    * sun-jaxws.xml deployment descriptor for web container

* src - source files
    * client/AddNumbersClient.java - client application
    * server/AddNumberImpl.java, AddNumbersIF.java, AddNumbersException.java - server implementation

* annotationProcessing ant task to compile the server code and generated JAX-WS artifacts

* wsimport ant task is run to compile the generated WSDL file
    * generates
      SEI - AddNumbersPortType
      service class - AddNumbersService
      and exception class - AddNumbersFault_Exception


* To run
    * set JAXWS_HOME to the JAX-WS installation directory
    * ant clean server - runs wsimport to compile AddNumbers.wsdl and generate
      server side artifacts and does the deployment
    * ant clean client run - runs wsimport on the published wsdl by the deplyed
      endpoint, compiles the generated artifacts and the client application
      then executes it.
