NOTE
Using extensions (functionality not specifically outlined by the specifications) may result in applica-
tions that are not portable or may not interoperate with other implementations.

Here is an example. In the following class, you have a web service definition, for which you'll
create a WSDL:

package com.soacookbook;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebResult;
import javax.jws.WebService;
