Web Service Locator
Identifier:
org.eclipse.wst.ws.webServiceLocator
Since:
This extension point is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
Description:
This extension point is provided to register locators that extend AbstractWebServiceLocator.
These locators are used by WebServiceFinder to locate Web services for the purpose of Web service discovery.
