    • Element Detail

      • name

        String name
        Name of the parameter.

        If the operation is rpc style and @WebParam.partName has not been specified, this is name of the wsdl:part representing the parameter.
        If the operation is document style or the parameter maps to a header, this is the local name of the XML element representing the parameter.

        A name MUST be specified if the operation is document style, the parameter style is BARE, and the mode is OUT or INOUT.

        Default:
        If the operation is document style and the parameter style is BARE, @WebMethod.operationName.
        Otherwise, argN, where N represents the index of the parameter in the method signature (starting at arg0).
        Default:
        ""

      • partName

        String partName
        The name of the wsdl:part representing this parameter.

        Default:
        If the operation is document style, the parameter style is WRAPPED, and the parameter does not map to a header, the empty namespace.
