How can I overload method in Java web-service?

Question

Suppose I have the following methods declared in my web service:

@WebMethod()
public Long addNewApplication(String applicationName) throws ServiceManagerException {
    // implementation
}

@WebMethod()
public Long addNewApplication(String applicationName, ApplicationState status) throws ServiceManagerException {
    // implementation
}

The problem is that above doesn't work, I get the following exception:

org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsSoapFaultException: Cannot find dispatch method for Request=[SOAPAction="",Payload={http://example.org/applicationManager}addNewApplication]; nested exception is javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Cannot find dispatch method for Request=[SOAPAction="",Payload={http://example.org/applicationManager}addNewApplication]

If I rename methods so they will have different names, everything works. Is it possible to have overloaded methods in Web Service? If yes, then how?

Answer 1

尝试使用操作名称，这应该在Java中正常工作：

@WebMethod(operationName="newName")

Answer 2

据我所知，有一些SOAP技巧可以实现重载，但不是应该如何 - 不要使用重载来实现Web服务。

Answer 3

这可以通过为以上两个函数提供如下的不同（唯一）MessageName属性来完成

[WebMethod (MessageName="ABC")]
