Method Details

process

@NotNull
Packet process(@NotNull
 Packet request,
 @Nullable
 WebServiceContextDelegate wscd,
 @Nullable
 TransportBackChannel tbc)

Processes a request and produces a reply.

This method takes a Packet that represents a request, run it through a Tubeline, eventually pass it to the user implementation code, which produces a reply, then run that through the pipeline again, and eventually return it as a return value.

Parameters:

request - Unconsumed Packet that represents a request.

wscd - WebServiceContextDelegate to be set to Packet. (we didn't have to take this and instead just ask the caller to set to Packet.webServiceContextDelegate, but that felt too error prone.)

tbc - TransportBackChannel to be set to Packet. See the wscd parameter javadoc for why this is a parameter. Can be null.

Returns:

Unconsumed Packet that represents a reply to the request.

Throws:

WebServiceException - This method does not throw a WebServiceException. The WSEndpoint must always produce a fault Message for it.

RuntimeException - A RuntimeException thrown from this method, including WebServiceException, must be treated as a bug in the code (including JAX-WS and all the pipe implementations), not an operator error by the user.

Therefore, it should be recorded by the caller in a way that allows developers to fix a bug.
