Specification Version: 2.1
Implementation Version: 2.1.1
Contents
Overview
The wsimport tool generates JAX-WS portable artifacts, such as:
- Service Endpoint Interface (SEI)
- Service
- Exception class mapped from wsdl:fault (if any)
- Async Reponse Bean derived from response wsdl:message (if any)
- JAXB generated value types (mapped java classes from schema types)
These artifacts can be packaged in a WAR file with the WSDL and schema documents
along with the endpoint implementation to be deployed. also provides wsimport ant task,
