The getPort method returns a proxy. If there are any reference parameters in the EndpointReference instance, then those reference parameters MUST appear as SOAP headers, indicating them to be reference parameters, on all messages sent to the endpoint. The parameter serviceEndpointInterface specifies the service endpoint interface that is supported by the returned proxy. The EndpointReference instance specifies the endpoint that will be invoked by the returned proxy. In the implementation of this method, the JAX-WS runtime system takes the responsibility of selecting a protocol binding (and a port) and configuring the proxy accordingly from the WSDL Metadata from this EndpointReference or from annotations on the serviceEndpointInterface. For this method to successfully return a proxy, WSDL metadata MUST be available and the EndpointReference instance MUST contain an implementation understood serviceName metadata.

Because this port is not created from a Service object, handlers will not automatically be configured, and the HandlerResolver and Executor cannot be get or set for this port. The BindingProvider().getBinding().setHandlerChain() method can be used to manually configure handlers for this port.

Parameters:

serviceEndpointInterface		Service endpoint interface
features		An array of WebServiceFeatures to configure on the proxy. Supported features not in the features parameter will have their default values.

Returns:  Object Proxy instance that supports the specified service endpoint interface

Exceptions:

WebServiceException

If there is an error during creation of the proxy If there is any missing WSDL metadata as required by this method If this endpointReference is invalid If an illegal serviceEndpointInterface is specified If a feature is enabled that is not compatible with this port or is unsupported.
