* This annotation can be specified on each method of a service endpoint interface. * For such a method, the mapped operation in the generated WSDL's * wsam:Action attribute on the WSDL input, * output and fault messages of the WSDL operation * is based upon which attributes of the Action annotation have been specified. * For the exact computation of wsam:Action values for the messages, refer * to the algorithm in the JAX-WS specification. *

* Example 1: Specify explicit values for Action message addressing property * for input and output messages. * *

 * @WebService(targetNamespace="http://example.com/numbers")
 * public class AddNumbersImpl {
 *     @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="foo"
 *           wsam:Action="http://example.com/inputAction"/>
 *         <output message="tns:AddNumbersOutput" name="bar"
 *           wsam:Action="http://example.com/outputAction"/>
 *       </operation>
 *     </portType>
 *     ...
 *   </definitions>
 * 
* *

* Example 2: Specify explicit value for Action message addressing property * for only the input message. The wsam:Action values for the * WSDL output message are computed using the algorithm in the JAX-WS specification. * *

 * @WebService(targetNamespace="http://example.com/numbers")
 * public class AddNumbersImpl {
 *     @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="foo"
 *           wsam:Action="http://example.com/inputAction" />
 *         <output message="tns:AddNumbersOutput" name="bar"
 *           wsam:Action="http://example.com/numbers/AddNumbersPortType/AddNumbersResponse"/>
 *       </operation>
 *     </portType>
 *     ...
 *   </definitions>
 * 
* * It is legitimate to specify an explicit value for Action message addressing property for * output message only. In this case, wsam:Action value for the * WSDL input message is computed using the algorithm in the JAX-WS specification. * *

* Example 3: See {@link 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 */ @Documented @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target(ElementType.METHOD) public @interface Action { /** * Explicit value of the WS-Addressing Action message addressing property for the input * message of the operation. */ String input() default ""; /** * Explicit value of the WS-Addressing Action message addressing property for the output * message of the operation. */ String output() default ""; /** * Explicit value of the WS-Addressing Action message addressing property for the fault * message(s) of the operation.
