Method Detail

getWSDL

public WSDL getWSDL()

Return WSDL for the service that I reference.

invoke

public Value invoke(java.lang.reflect.Method method,
                    java.lang.Object[] args,
                    Context context)
             throws java.lang.Throwable

Invoke the operation associated with a particular method, using the specified arguments.

Parameters:

method - The method to invoke

args - The arguments.

context - The context.

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable - If an exception occurs.

invoke

public Value invoke(java.lang.String method,
                    java.lang.Object[] args,
                    java.lang.Class[] argTypes,
                    Context context)
             throws java.lang.Throwable

Invoke the operation associated with a particular method, using the specified arguments and argument types. If more than one operation matches the method name and argument types, a NoSuchMethodException is thrown. The reason for allowing the argument types to be specified is to allow an argument of type Integer to be disambiguated from an argument of type int that has been wrapped in its Object equivalent.

Parameters:

method - The name of the method to invoke

args - The arguments.

argTypes - The type of the arguments.

context - The context.

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable - If an exception occurs.

invoke

public Value invoke(java.lang.String method,
                    java.lang.String[] args,
                    Context context)
             throws java.lang.Throwable

Invoke the operation associated with a particular method, using the specified arguments. If more than one operation matches the method name and argument count, a NoSuchMethodException is thrown.

Parameters:

method - The name of the method to invoke

args - The arguments, expressed as strings.

context - The context.

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable - If an exception occurs.
