I'm trying to use a header out param in my web service, which must be used
with a .Net client. For some reason (don't ask me why), the wsdl.exe web
service client proxy generator shipped with Visual Studio 2005 really wants
the message part for the result in the response named "parameters" when
using a header out param as well. JAX-WS defaults to naming the message part
"result", which causes wsdl.exe to generate wrapper objects for the response
and parameters. Anyways, I tried to work around .Net by using this:


*package* com.foo;

*import* javax.jws.WebParam;
*import* javax.jws.WebResult;
*import* javax.jws.WebService;
*import* javax.xml.ws.Holder;

@WebService(serviceName="TestService")
*public* *class* TestEndPoint {

        @WebResult(name="parameters")
        *public* String method1(@WebParam(mode=WebParam.Mode.OUT,
header=*true*) Holder<Header> header) {
                header.value = *new* Header();
                header.value.setHeaderValue("Header Value");
                *return* "method1 Return";
        }
}



but it appears that when using the WebParam annotation with header=true, the
WebResult annotation gets ignored. If I remove the header=true from the
WebParam annotation, the message part is called "parameters", but with
header=true, the message part is called "result":

Any ideas?
