Anonymous Client - How Does the Service Endpoint Know Which Operation

Question

I am using a client (Axis2) to invoke a service through their Anonymous capabilities. When this is done, you create a ServiceClient with the default constructor and call one of its methods based on the MEP that I want to perform. In doing this, the ServiceClient is not aware of the WSDL, the SOAP Action, the Service Name, the Port Name...only the Endpoint URI of where I want the post to be sent.
So I have a Service Endpoint running in WebLogic 10 and constructed using EJB3. We are using JWS to generate the WSDL and other web service configuration files from our SLSB. My WSDL has two operations with different request messages and different response messages. When I send the Anonymous client request, the Service Endpoint correctly processes the request and send the correct response.
How is this happening? Does the EJB3 Service Endpoint know how to process or bind the message based on the root element of the SOAP Body? And is it just working by circumstance. So if I had two operations with the same request message and different responses, would it fail?
Thanks -jay

Unfortunately you have to make some changes in your code.. to find the pictures you need to replace:
ImageIcon pic = new ImageIcon("pic.gif");
with
URL url = MyClass.class.getResource("pic.gif");
ImageIcon pic = new ImageIcon(url);
where MyClass is the class which needs to load the resource.
I hope this helped you! /Pingu
