Method Detail

getRoles

java.util.List getRoles()

Get a list of the roles supported. NOTE: the "next" role is automatically supported, and the "none" role (for SOAP 1.2) is automatically disallowed. The roles returned should only be the non-standard ones, since the ultimate destination role is also handled by the isUltimateDestination method below.

Returns:

a List containing URI Strings, one per custom role supported, or null

isUltimateDestination

boolean isUltimateDestination()

Are we the ultimate destination?

Returns:

true if this is the ultimate destination, false if an intermediary.
