The 020 * static methods of this class calls the same methods of the service utility. 021 * However, the signatures are different because it is difficult for SOAP to 022 * support certain types. 023 * 024 * <p> 025 * ServiceBuilder follows certain rules in translating the methods. For example, 026 * if the method in the service utility returns a {@link java.util.List}, that 027 * is translated to an array of {@link com.liferay.portlet.social.model.SocialRequestSoap}. 028 * If the method in the service utility returns a 029 * {@link com.liferay.portlet.social.model.SocialRequest}, that is translated to a 030 * {@link com.liferay.portlet.social.model.SocialRequestSoap}. Methods that SOAP cannot 031 * safely wire are skipped. 032 * </p> 033 * 034 * <p> 035 * The benefits of using the SOAP utility is that it is cross platform 036 * compatible. SOAP allows different languages like Java, .NET, C++, PHP, and 037 * even Perl, to call the generated services. One drawback of SOAP is that it is 038 * slow because it needs to serialize all calls into a text format (XML). 039 * </p> 040 * 041 * <p> 042 * You can see a list of services at http://localhost:8080/api/axis. Set the 043 * property <b>axis.servlet.hosts.allowed</b> in portal.properties to configure 044 * security. 045 * </p> 046 * 047 * <p> 048 * The SOAP utility is only generated for remote services. 049 * </p> 050 * 051 * @author Brian Wing Shun Chan 052 * @see SocialRequestServiceHttp 053 * @see com.liferay.portlet.social.model.SocialRequestSoap 054 * @see com.liferay.portlet.social.service.SocialRequestServiceUtil 055 * @generated 056 */ 057 public class SocialRequestServiceSoap { 058 }
