EndpointDescription (Apache Axis2

All Known Implementing Classes:

EndpointDescriptionImpl
```
public interface EndpointDescription
```
An EndpointDescription corresponds to a particular Service Implementation. It can correspond to either either a client to that impl or the actual service impl.
The EndpointDescription contains information that is relevant to both a Provider-based and SEI-based (aka Endpoint-based or Java-based) enpdoints. SEI-based endpoints (whether they have an explicit or implcit SEI) will have addtional metadata information in an EndpointInterfaceDescription class and sub-hierachy; Provider-based endpoitns do not have such a hierachy.

  - getPortInfo
```
javax.xml.ws.handler.PortInfo getPortInfo()
```
    Returns the JAX-WS handler PortInfo object for this endpoint.
    
    Returns:
    PortInfo
  - isProviderBased

boolean isProviderBased()
```
  - isEndpointBased
```

```
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
  - getTargetNamespace
```
String getTargetNamespace()
```
  - getBindingType
```
String getBindingType()
```
    Returns the binding type FOR A SERVER. This is based on the BindingType annotation and/or the WSDL. This will return the default binding (SOAP11) if no annotation was specified on the server. This should NOT be called on the client since it will always return the default binding. Use getClientBindingID() on clients.
    
    Returns:
  - setHandlerChain
```
void setHandlerChain(HandlerChainsType handlerChain)
```
  - getHandlerChain
```
HandlerChainsType getHandlerChain(Object serviceDelegateKey)
```
    Return the handler chain configuration information as a HandlerChainsType object. If the key is non-null then it is used to look for handler chain configuration information in the sparse metadata. The order in which the configuration information is resolved is: 1) Look in sparse composite if the key is not null 2) Look in the composite 3) Look for a HandlerChain annotation and read in the file it specifies
    
    Parameters:
    serviceDelegateKey - May be null. If non-null, used to look for service-delegate specific sparse composite information.
    
    Returns:
    A HandlerChainsType object or null
  - getHandlerChain
```
HandlerChainsType getHandlerChain()
```
    Return the handler chain configuration information as a HandlerChainsType object. This is the same as calling getHandlerChain(null).
    
    See Also:
    getHandlerChain(Object)
  - setClientBindingID
```
void setClientBindingID(String clientBindingID)
```
    Set the binding type FOR A CLIENT. The BindingType annotation is not valid on the client per the JAX-WS spec. The value can be set via addPort(...) for a Dispatch client or via TBD for a Proxy client.
  - getClientBindingID
```
String getClientBindingID()
```
    Return the binding type FOR A CLIENT. This will return the default client binding type if called on the server. Use getBindingType() on servers.
    
    Returns:
    String representing the client binding type
    See Also:
    setClientBindingID();
  - setEndpointAddress
```
void setEndpointAddress(String endpointAddress)
```
  - getEndpointAddress
```
String getEndpointAddress()
```
  - getPortQName
```
QName getPortQName()
```
  - getServiceQName
```
QName getServiceQName()
```
  - getServiceMode
```
javax.xml.ws.Service.Mode getServiceMode()
```
  - isMTOMEnabled
```
boolean isMTOMEnabled()
```
    Signals whether or not MTOM has been turned on for the endpoint based on the annotation configuration. Both the @MTOM and @BindingType are inspected. The @MTOM annotation is inspected first. If the @MTOM annotation is not present, then the @BindingType is inspected.
    
    Returns:
    a boolean value
  - getMTOMThreshold
```
int getMTOMThreshold()
```
    If MTOM is enabled, returns the threshold value.
    
    Returns:
    -1 if MTOM is not enabled, a positive integer value if one was configured.
  - respectBinding
```
boolean respectBinding()
```
    Returns true if the contents of the <wsdl:binding> must be strictly respected by the runtime.
    
    Returns:
    a boolean value
  - setRespectBinding
```
void setRespectBinding(boolean respect)
```
    Indicate whether or not strict binding support should be used.
  - addRequiredBinding
```
boolean addRequiredBinding(WSDLValidatorElement element)
```
    Adds the QName to a list of binding types that are required to be supported by the endpoint as defined in the WSDL.
    
    Parameters:
    name -
    
    Returns:
  - getRequiredBindings
```
Set<WSDLValidatorElement> getRequiredBindings()
```
    Returns a list of all known bindings that should be supported based on the information in the WSDL.
    
    Returns:
  - getDescriptionBuilderComposite
```
DescriptionBuilderComposite getDescriptionBuilderComposite()
```
    Return the DescriptionBuilderComposite, if any, used to build this service description.
    
    Returns:
  - getProperty
```
Object getProperty(String key)
```
    Return the Object that corresponds to the property key supplied.
  - setProperty
```
