This example gets the annotation attributes of of a web service client generated by JAX-WS RI.
The generated web service client looks like this:
This is how to get the attributes for annotation
Note that even though
Also, annotations are available at runtime only when they have
The generated web service client looks like this:
import javax.xml.ws.Service; import javax.xml.ws.WebEndpoint; import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceClient; import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature; /** * This class was generated by the JAX-WS RI. * JAX-WS RI 2.1.7-b01- * Generated source version: 2.1 * */ @WebServiceClient(name = "MyTestWebService", targetNamespace = "http://service.ex.com/mytestwebservice/v1.0", wsdlLocation = "mytestwebservice.wsdl") public class MyTestWebService extends Service { . . . }
This is how to get the attributes for annotation
@WebServiceClient:
WebServiceClient wsc = MyTestWebService.class.getAnnotation(WebServiceClient.class); String name = wsc.name(); String targetNamespace = wsc.targetNamespace(); String wsdlLocation = wsc.wsdlLocation();
Note that even though
name, targetNamespace and wsdlLocation are attributes, you get them using a method call.
Also, annotations are available at runtime only when they have
RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME.
