public interface 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. Typically a WebServiceContext is injected into an endpoint implementation class using the Resource annotation.

getEndpointReference

public EndpointReference getEndpointReference(Class clazz,
                                              Element[] referenceParameters)

Returns the EndpointReference associated with this endpoint.

Parameters:

clazz - The type of EndpointReference that MUST be returned.

referenceParameters - Reference parameters to be associated with the returned EndpointReference instance.

Returns:

EndpointReference of type clazz of the endpoint associated with this WebServiceContext instance. If the returned EndpointReference is of type W3CEndpointReference then it MUST contain the the specified referenceParameters.

getEndpointReference

public EndpointReference getEndpointReference(Element[] referenceParameters)

Returns the EndpointReference for this endpoint.

If the {@link Binding} for this bindingProvider is either SOAP1.1/HTTP or SOAP1.2/HTTP, then a W3CEndpointReference MUST be returned.

Parameters:

referenceParameters - Reference parameters to be associated with the returned EndpointReference instance.

Returns:

EndpointReference of the endpoint associated with this WebServiceContext. If the returned EndpointReference is of type W3CEndpointReference then it MUST contain the the specified referenceParameters.

getMessageContext

public MessageContext getMessageContext()

Returns the MessageContext for the request being served at the time this method is called. Only properties with APPLICATION scope will be visible to the application.
