## javax.xml.ws.soap
Class AddressingFeature

    java.lang.Object
      javax.xml.ws.WebServiceFeature
          javax.xml.ws.soap.AddressingFeature

    public final class AddressingFeature

extends WebServiceFeature

This feature represents the use of WS-Addressing with either the SOAP 1.1/HTTP or SOAP 1.2/HTTP binding. Using this feature with any other binding is NOT required.

Enabling this feature on the client will cause the JAX-WS runtime to include WS-Addressing headers in SOAP messages.

If the web service developer has not explicitly enabled this feature, it MAY be automatically enabled if the associated WSDL enables WS-Addressing with an implementation recognized WSDL extension element. However, in this version of JAX-WS, there is no standard WSDL extension that a client can rely on to automatically enable WS-Addressing, nor is there a standard default value specified for WS-Addressing `Action` headers.

To write a portable endpoint and its corresponding client with this version of JAX-WS, an endpoint MUST explicitly specify what WS-Addressing `Actions` are to be used via the `Action` and `FaultAction` annotations. The client MUST explicitly enable addresssing via this `AddressingFeature`, and for each invocation, the client MUST explicitly set the `BindingProvider.SOAPACTION_URI_PROPERTY`. After the W3C WG on WS-Addressing has specified how the use of WS-Addressing is specified in the WSDL, and what the default value must be for Action headers, a future version of JAX-WS will remove these requirements.

See `RespectBindingFeature` for more information on required WSDL extensions.

The following describes the effects of this feature with respect to be enabled or disabled:

- ENABLED: In this Mode, WS-Addressing will be enabled. At runtime, WS-Addressing headers MUST be consumed by the receiver and produced by the sender even if the WSDL declares otherwise. The mustUnderstand="0" attribute MUST be used on the WS-Addressing headers.
- DISABLED: In this Mode, WS-Addressing will be disabled even if an associated WSDL specifies otherwise. At runtime, WS-Addressing headers MUST NOT be used. WS-Addressing may be explicitly disabled to prevent a JAX-WS implementation from consuming and producing WS-Addressing headers. If an application has implemented WS-Addressing itself, it MUST explicitly disable this feature. Not doing so may break compatibility with future versions of JAX-WS.

The `required` property can be used to specify if WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming messages. This property only has meaning when used on the endpoint and has no affect when used on the client. By default the `required` property is `false`.

See Web Services Addressing - Core and Web Services Addressing 1.0 - SOAP Binding for more information on WS-Addressing.

Since:
  JAX-WS 2.1

Field Detail

### ID

    public static final String ID

  Constant value identifying the AddressingFeature

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### required

    protected boolean required

  Property for the `required` feature parameter. When WS-Addressing is enabled, the value of this property will be used to specify if WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming messages. This property only has meaning on the endpoint and has no affect when used on the client.

Constructor Detail

### AddressingFeature

    public AddressingFeature()

  Create an `AddressingFeature`. The instance created will be enabled.

### AddressingFeature

    public AddressingFeature(boolean enabled)

  Create an `AddressingFeature`

  Parameters:
    `enabled` - specifies whether this feature should be enabled or not.

### AddressingFeature

    public AddressingFeature(boolean enabled,
                             boolean required)

  Create an `AddressingFeature`

  Parameters:
    `enabled` - specifies whether this feature should be enabled or not.
    `required` - specifies whether WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming messages. This property only has meaning on the endpoint and has no affect when used on the client.

Method Detail

### getID

    public String getID()

  Get the unique identifier for this WebServiceFeature.

  Specified by:
    `getID` in class `WebServiceFeature`
  Returns:
    the unique identifier for this feature.

### isRequired

    public boolean isRequired()

  Gets the boolean value used to determine if WS-Addressing headers MUST be present on incoming messages. This property only has meaning on the endpoint, and has no affect when used on the client.

  Returns:
    the current required value
