| Class and Description |

| AsyncHandler The  AsyncHandlerinterface is implemented by
 clients that wish to receive callback notification of the completion of
 service endpoint operations invoked asynchronously. | 
| Binding The  Bindinginterface is the base interface
  for JAX-WS protocol bindings. | 
| BindingProvider The  BindingProviderinterface provides access to the
 protocol binding and associated context objects for request and
 response message processing. | 
| Dispatch The  Dispatchinterface provides support
  for the dynamic invocation of a service endpoint operations. | 
| Endpoint A Web service endpoint. | 
| EndpointContext EndpointContextallows multiple endpoints in an application
 to share any information. | 
| EndpointReference This class represents an WS-Addressing EndpointReference
 which is a remote reference to a web service endpoint. | 
| Response The  Responseinterface provides methods used to obtain the
  payload and context of a message sent in response to an operation
  invocation. | 
| Service Serviceobjects provide the client view of a Web service. | 
| Service.Mode The orientation of a dynamic client or service. | 
| WebServiceException The  WebServiceExceptionclass is the base
  exception class for all JAX-WS API runtime exceptions. | 
| WebServiceFeature A WebServiceFeature is used to represent a feature that can be
 enabled or disabled for a web service. | 
| Class and Description | 
|---|
| LogicalMessage The  LogicalMessageinterface represents a
  protocol agnostic XML message and contains methods that
  provide access to the payload of the message. | 
| Class and Description | 
|---|
| Binding The  Bindinginterface is the base interface
  for JAX-WS protocol bindings. | 
| ProtocolException The  ProtocolExceptionclass is a
  base class for exceptions related to a specific protocol binding. | 
| WebServiceException The  WebServiceExceptionclass is the base
  exception class for all JAX-WS API runtime exceptions. |

| Service.Mode The orientation of a dynamic client or service. | 
| WebServiceContext A  WebServiceContextmakes it possible for
  a web service endpoint implementation class to access
  message context and security information relative to
  a request being served. |
