## Annotation Type RequestWrapper

-     @Target(value=METHOD)
       @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
       @Documented
      public @interface RequestWrapper

  Used to annotate methods in the Service Endpoint Interface with the request wrapper bean to be used at runtime. The default value of the `localName` is the `operationName`, as defined in `WebMethod` annotation and the `targetNamespace` is the target namespace of the SEI.

  When starting from Java this annotation is used resolve overloading conflicts in document literal mode. Only the `className` is required in this case.

  Since:
    JAX-WS 2.0
