Action annotation allows explicit association of Action
* message addressing property with input, output, and
* fault messages of the mapped WSDL operation.
*
* This annotation can be specified on each method of a service endpoint interface.
* For such a method, the mapped operation in the generated WSDL
* contains explicit wsaw:Action attribute on the WSDL input,
* output and fault messages of the WSDL operation
* based upon which attributes of the Action annotation have been specified.
*
* Example 1: Specify explicit values for Action message addressing property
* for input and output messages.
*
*
* @javax.jws.WebService
* public class AddNumbersImpl {
* @javax.xml.ws.Action(
* input="http://example.com/inputAction",
* output="http://example.com/outputAction")
* public int addNumbers(int number1, int number2) {
* return number1 + number2;
* }
* }
*
*
* The generated WSDL looks like:
* * <definitions targetNamespace="http://example.com/numbers" ...> * ... * <portType name="AddNumbersPortType"> * <operation name="AddNumbers"> * <input message="tns:AddNumbersInput" name="Parameters" * wsaw:Action="http://example.com/inputAction"/> * <output message="tns:AddNumbersOutput" name="Result" * wsaw:Action="http://example.com/outputAction"/> * </operation> * <portType> * ... * <definitions> ** *
* Example 2: Specify explicit value for Action message addressing property
* for only the input message. The default values are used for the
* output message.
*
*
* @javax.jws.WebService
* public class AddNumbersImpl {
* @javax.xml.ws.Action(input="http://example.com/inputAction")
* public int addNumbers(int number1, int number2) {
* return number1 + number2;
* }
* }
*
*
* The generated WSDL looks like:
*
* * <definitions targetNamespace="http://example.com/numbers" ...> * ... * <portType name="AddNumbersPortType"> * <operation name="AddNumbers"> * <input message="tns:AddNumbersInput" name="Parameters" * wsaw:Action="http://example.com/inputAction"/> * <output message="tns:AddNumbersOutput" name="Result"/> * </operation> * <portType> * ... * <definitions> ** * It is legitimate to specify an explicit value for
Action message addressing property for
* output message only. In this case, a default value of wsaw:Action is used
* for the input message.
*
*
* Example 3: See FaultAction annotation for an example of
* how to specify an explicit value for Action message addressing property for the
* fault message.
*
* @see FaultAction
*
* @since JAX-WS 2.1
