## javax.xml.ws
Annotation Type Action

    @Documented
    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    @Target(value=METHOD)
    public @interface Action

The `Action` annotation allows explicit association of a WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property with `input`, `output`, and `fault` messages of the mapped WSDL operation.

In this version of JAX-WS there is no standard way to specify `Action` values in a WSDL and there is no standard default value. It is intended that, after the W3C WG on WS-Addressing has defined these items in a recommendation, a future version of JAX-WS will require the new standards.

Since:
  JAX-WS 2.1
See Also:
  `Addressing`, `FaultAction`

Optional Element Summary
`FaultAction[]` | `fault` Explicit value of the WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property for the `fault` message(s) of the operation.
`String` | `input` Explicit value of the WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property for the `input` message of the operation.
`String` | `output` Explicit value of the WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property for the `output` message of the operation.

### input

    public abstract String input

  Explicit value of the WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property for the `input` message of the operation.

### output

### fault

    public abstract FaultAction[] fault

  Explicit value of the WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property for the `fault` message(s) of the operation. Each exception that is mapped to a fault and requires an explicit WS-Addressing `Action` message addressing property, needs to be specified as a value in this property using `FaultAction` annotation.

  Default:
    {}
