The Java provider supports the invocation of a method on a local
Java object.
Why and when to perform this task
To use the Java provider, you need the following binding specified
in the
WSDL:
Example
<!-- Java binding -->
<binding .... >
<java:binding />
<format:typeMapping style="Java" encoding="Java"/>?
<format:typeMap name="qname" formatType="nmtoken"/>*
</format:typeMapping>
<operation>*
<java:operation
methodName="nmtoken"
parameterOrder="nmtoken"
returnPart="nmtoken"?
methodType="instance|constructor" />
<input name="nmtoken"? />?
<output name="nmtoken"? />?
<fault name="nmtoken"? />?
</operation>
</binding>
In this example:
- A question mark (?) means optional, and an asterisk (*)
means 0 or more.
- The name attribute of the <format:typeMap> element
is a qualified name of a simple or complex type used by one of the Java operations.
- The formatType attribute of the <format:typeMap> element
is the fully qualified class name for the Java class to which the element
specified by name maps.
- The methodName attribute of the <java:operation> element
is the name of the method on the Java object that is called by the operation.
- The parameterOrder attribute of the <java:operation> element
contains a white space-separated list of part names that define the order
in which they are passed to the Java object method.
- The methodType attribute of the <java:operation> element
must be set to either instance or constructor. The value
specifies whether the method that is invoked on the object is an instance
method or a constructor for the object.
In the next example, the className attribute of the <java:address> element
specifies the fully qualified class name of the object containing the method
to invoke:
<service ... >
<port>*
<java:address
className="nmtoken"/>
</port>
</service>
