Class Inheritance
Imports
javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext, .WebServiceFeature, java.lang.reflect.Method, .InvocationTargetException
Invoker hides the detail of calling into application endpoint implementation. Container hands over an implementation of Invoker to JAX-WS runtime, and jax-ws runtime calls invoke for a web service invocation. Finally, Invoker does the actual invocation of web service on endpoint instance. Container also injects the provided WebServiceContext and takes care of invoking javax.annotation.PostConstruct methods, if present, on the endpoint implementation.

The WebServiceContext object uses thread-local information to return the correct information during the actual endpoint invocation regardless of how many threads are concurrently being used to serve requests.

Parameters
webServiceContext:WebServiceContext

a holder for MessageContext

Exceptions
IllegalAccessException:
if the injection done by reflection API throws this exception
IllegalArgumentException:
