Class AddressingFeature

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature
      extended by javax.xml.ws.soap.AddressingFeature

public final class AddressingFeature
extends WebServiceFeature

AddressingFeature represents the use of WS-Addressing with either the SOAP 1.1/HTTP or SOAP 1.2/HTTP binding. Using this feature with any other binding is undefined.

This feature can be used during the creation of SEI proxy, and Dispatch instances on the client side and Endpoint instances on the server side. This feature cannot be used for Service instance creation on the client side.

The following describes the effects of this feature with respect to be enabled or disabled:

If the feature is enabled, the required property determines whether the endpoint requires WS-Addressing. If it is set true, WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming and outgoing messages. By default the required property is false.

If the web service developer has not explicitly enabled this feature, WSDL's wsam:Addressing policy assertion is used to find the use of WS-Addressing. By using the feature explicitly, an application overrides WSDL's indication of the use of WS-Addressing. In some cases, this is really required. For example, if an application has implemented WS-Addressing itself, it can use this feature to disable addressing. That means a JAX-WS implementation doesn't consume or produce WS-Addressing headers.

If addressing is enabled, a corresponding wsam:Addressing policy assertion must be generated in the WSDL as per 3.1 WS-Policy Assertions

Example 1: Possible Policy Assertion in the generated WSDL for @Addressing

   <wsam:Addressing wsp:Optional="true">
     <wsp:Policy/>
   </wsam:Addressing>
 

Example 2: Possible Policy Assertion in the generated WSDL for @Addressing(required=true)

   <wsam:Addressing>
     <wsp:Policy/>
   </wsam:Addressing>
 

Example 3: Possible Policy Assertion in the generated WSDL for @Addressing(required=true, responses=Responses.ANONYMOUS)

   <wsam:Addressing>
      <wsp:Policy>
        <wsam:AnonymousResponses/>
      </wsp:Policy>
   </wsam:Addressing>
 

See Web Services Addressing - Core, Web Services Addressing 1.0 - SOAP Binding, and Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Metadata for more information on WS-Addressing.

protected boolean required
If addressing is enabled, this property determines whether the endpoint requires WS-Addressing. If required is true, WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming and outgoing messages.

Constructor Detail

AddressingFeature

public AddressingFeature()
Creates and configures an AddressingFeature with the use of addressing requirements. The created feature enables ws-addressing i.e. supports ws-addressing but doesn't require its use. It is also configured to accept all the response types.


AddressingFeature

public AddressingFeature(boolean enabled)
Creates and configures an AddressingFeature with the use of addressing requirements. If enabled is true, it enables ws-addressing i.e. supports ws-addressing but doesn't require its use. It also configures to accept all the response types.

Parameters:
enabled - true enables ws-addressing i.e.ws-addressing is supported but doesn't require its use

AddressingFeature

public AddressingFeature(boolean enabled,
                         boolean required)
Creates and configures an AddressingFeature with the use of addressing requirements. If enabled and required are true, it enables ws-addressing and requires its use. It also configures to accept all the response types.

Parameters:
enabled - true enables ws-addressing i.e.ws-addressing is supported but doesn't require its use
required - true means requires the use of ws-addressing .

AddressingFeature

public AddressingFeature(boolean enabled,
                         boolean required,
                         AddressingFeature.Responses responses)
Creates and configures an AddressingFeature with the use of addressing requirements. If enabled and required are true, it enables ws-addressing and requires its use. Also, the response types can be configured using responses parameter.

Parameters:
enabled - true enables ws-addressing i.e.ws-addressing is supported but doesn't require its use
required - true means requires the use of ws-addressing .
responses - specifies what type of responses are required

Method Detail

getID

public java.lang.String getID()
Get the unique identifier for this WebServiceFeature.

Specified by:
getID in class WebServiceFeature
Returns:
the unique identifier for this feature.

isRequired

public boolean isRequired()
If addressing is enabled, this property determines whether the endpoint requires WS-Addressing. If required is true, WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming and outgoing messages.

Returns:
the current required value

getResponses

public AddressingFeature.Responses getResponses()
If addressing is enabled, this property determines whether endpoint requires the use of anonymous responses, or non-anonymous responses, or all responses.

Returns:
AddressingFeature.Responses.ALL when endpoint supports all types of responses, AddressingFeature.Responses.ANONYMOUS when endpoint requires the use of only anonymous responses, AddressingFeature.Responses.NON_ANONYMOUS when endpoint requires the use of only non-anonymous responses
