RespectBinding

This feature is only useful with web services that have an associated WSDL. Enabling this feature requires that a JAX-WS implementation inspect the wsdl:binding for an endpoint at runtime to make sure that all wsdl:extensions that have the required attribute set to true are understood and are being used.

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

• ENABLED: In this Mode, a JAX-WS runtime MUST assure that all required wsdl:binding extensions are either understood and used by the runtime, or explicitly disabled by the web service application. A web service application can disable a particular extension that has a known WebServiceFeature using either the appropriate annotation associated with that WebServiceFeature on the server, or one of the following methods on the client:
  • {@link Service#getPort(QName,Class,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link Service#getPort(Class,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link Service#getPort(EndpointReference,Class,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link Service#createDispatch(QName,Class,Service.Mode mode,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link Service#createDispatch(EndpointReference,Class,Service.Mode,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link Service#createDispatch(QName,JAXBContext,Service.Mode,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link Service#createDispatch(EndpointReference,JAXBContext,Service.Mode,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • {@link EndpointReference#getPort(Class,WebServiceFeature...)}
  • One of the getXXXPort(WebServiceFeatures...) methods on a generated Service.
  The runtime MUST also make sure that binding of SEI parameters/return values respect the wsdl:binding. With this feature enabled, if a required (wsdl:required="true") wsdl:binding extension is in the WSDL and it is not supported by a JAX-WS runtime and it has not been explicitly turned off by the web service developer, then that JAX-WS runtime MUST behave appropriately based on whether it is on the client or server:
  • Client: runtime MUST throw a WebServiceException no sooner than when one of the methods above is invoked but no later than the first invocation of an endpoint operation.
  • Server: throw a WebServiceException and the endpoint MUST fail to deploy
• DISABLED: In this Mode, an implementation may choose whether to inspect the wsdl:binding or not and to what degree the wsdl:binding will be inspected. For example, one implementation may choose to behave as if this feature is enabled, another implementation may only choose to verify the SEI's parameter/return type bindings.
