Payload mode of JAX-WS Dispatch

In payload mode , also called message payload mode, a Dispatch object works with only the payload of a message. For example, a Dispatch object working in payload mode works only with the body of a SOAP message. The binding layer processes any binding level wrappers and headers. When a result is returned from invoke() the binding level wrappers and headers are already striped away and only the body of the message is left.

Information noteNote: When working with a binding that does not use special wrappers, such as the Artix ESB XML binding, payload mode and message mode provide the same results.

You specify that a Dispatch object uses payload mode by providing the value java.xml.ws.Service.Mode.PAYLOAD when creating the Dispatch object.
