inheriting a @WebMethod from a parent class.

[Himai Minh]

According to MZ's notes:

public  class Base {

     @WebMethod (exclude=false)
     public void superMethod1(){ ...}
     
  }

@WebService
public class BeanImp extends Base {
     
      
                ....
}

The BeanImp inherits the superMethod1 and this superMethod1 will be exposed as a web method.

But what if BeanImp wants to override superMethod1, but does not want to expose it as a web method ?

If I'm getting you question correctly, just add @WebMethod annotation w/ exclude=true to the sub class method you want to hide. See below

@WebService
public class BeanImp extends Base {  
       
     @Override //this annotation is optional
     @WebMethod(exclude=true)  
     public void superMethod1(){ ...}
}

Thanks. That is one of the solution.
But I want BeanImp class to inherit the superMethod1() in Base class. I don't want to override superMethod1() in BeanImpl.

If I understand, you don't want to expose superMethod1() as a web method in your BeanImp, and you don't want to change the implementation in the BeanImp?!

As far as I know, you can do what Noni Singh said and call the super method from inherited one! I believe in that way the method in BeanImp will not be exposed as a web method,
and you will get the complete implementation of the superMethod1() from the Base class.

@WebService
public class BeanImp extends Base {  
       
     @Override //this annotation is optional
     @WebMethod(exclude=true)  
     public void superMethod1(){
               super.superMethod1()
      }
}

Sorry if I misinterpreted the question.

Thanks. I got it. Use super.superMethod1() to inherit the parent's method.
