Exposing ws methods

[Pedro Erencia]

I'm a bit confused about how to expose a method as a web-service method using @WebMethod annotation.

Consider the next web-service ejb

@WebService
public class X implements Y {
public double method1(){return 0;}
public double method2(){return 0;}
}

According to JSR-181:

If the implementation bean does not implement a service endpoint interface and
there are no @WebMethod annotations in the implementation bean (excluding
@WebMethod annotations used to exclude inherited @WebMethods), all public
methods other than those inherited from java.lang.Object will be exposed as Web
Service operations, subject to the inheritance rules specified in Common
Annotations for the Java Platform [12], section 2.1.

So, if i want to expose ONLY method1 i could do:

...
 
public double method1(){return 0;}
@WebMethod(exclude="true")
public double method2(){return 0;}
..

According to an enthuware question, the same could be accomplish by doing this :

...
@WebMethod
public double method1(){return 0;}
// No annotation
public double method2(){return 0;}
..

I think the key is in

and there are no @WebMethod annotations in the implementation bean

So, a correct interpretation would be :

If I explicitly expose one method, the all other method i want to be exposed must be exposed explicitily.
Otherwise all methods would be exposed except the ones marked with @WebMethod(exclude="false")

Is this ok ?

Thanks.
