## Annotation Type RespectBinding

-     @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD})
       @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
       @Documented
       @WebServiceFeatureAnnotation(id="javax.xml.ws.RespectBindingFeature",
                                   bean=RespectBindingFeature.class)
      public @interface RespectBinding

  This feature clarifies the use of the `wsdl:binding` in a JAX-WS runtime.

  This annotation MUST only be used in conjunction the `javax.jws.WebService`, `WebServiceProvider`, `WebServiceRef` annotations. When used with the `javax.jws.WebService` annotation this annotation MUST only be used on the service endpoint implementation class. When used with a `WebServiceRef` annotation, this annotation MUST only be used when a proxy instance is created. The injected SEI proxy, and endpoint MUST honor the values of the `RespectBinding` annotation.

  This annotation's behaviour is defined by the corresponding feature `RespectBindingFeature`.

  Since:
    JAX-WS 2.1
