<h1>@WebService OUT params via javax.xml.ws.Holder</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<p>With SOAP it is possible to return multiple values in a single request. This is impossible in Java as a method can only return one object.</p>
<p>JAX-WS solves this problem with the concept of Holders. A <code>javax.xml.ws.Holder</code> is a simple wrapper object that can be passed into the <code>@WebService</code> method as a parameter. The application sets the value of the holder during the request and the server will send the value back as an OUT parameter.</p>
<h2>Using @WebParam and javax.xml.ws.Holder</h2>
<p>The <code>@WebParam</code> annotation allows us to declare the <code>sum</code> and <code>multiply</code> Holders as <code>WebParam.Mode.OUT</code> parameters. As mentioned, these holders are simply empty buckets the application can fill in with data to have sent to the client. The server will pass them in uninitialized.</p>
<pre><code>@Stateless
@WebService(
portName = &quot;CalculatorPort&quot;,
serviceName = &quot;CalculatorService&quot;,
targetNamespace = &quot;http://superbiz.org/wsdl&quot;,
endpointInterface = &quot;org.superbiz.ws.out.CalculatorWs&quot;)
public class Calculator implements CalculatorWs {
public void sumAndMultiply(int a, int b,
@WebParam(name = &quot;sum&quot;, mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder&lt;Integer&gt; sum,
@WebParam(name = &quot;multiply&quot;, mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder&lt;Integer&gt; multiply) {
sum.value = a + b;
multiply.value = a * b;
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>If the Holders were specified as <code>WebParam.Mode.INOUT</code> params, then the client could use them to send data and the application as well. The <code>Holder</code> instances would then be initialized with the data from the client request. The application could check the data before eventually overriting it with the response values.</p>
<h2>The WSDL</h2>
<p>The above JAX-WS <code>@WebService</code> component results in the folliwing WSDL that will be created automatically. Note the <code>sumAndMultiplyResponse</code> complext type returns two elements. These match the <code>@WebParam</code> declarations and our two <code>Holder&lt;Integer&gt;</code> params.</p>

<h2>Testing the OUT params</h2>
<p>Here we see a JAX-WS client executing the <code>sumAndMultiply</code> operation. Two empty <code>Holder</code> instances are created and passed in as parameters. The data from the <code>sumAndMultiplyResponse</code> is placed in the <code>Holder</code> instances and is then available to the client after the operation completes.</p>
<p>The holders themselves are not actually sent in the request unless they are configured as INOUT params via WebParam.Mode.INOUT on <code>@WebParam</code></p>
