32   * This class provides a SOAP utility for the
33   * <code>com.liferay.portal.service.ContactServiceUtil</code> service
34   * utility. The static methods of this class calls the same methods of the
35   * service utility. However, the signatures are different because it is
36   * difficult for SOAP to support certain types.
37   * </p>
38   *
39   * <p>
40   * ServiceBuilder follows certain rules in translating the methods. For example,
41   * if the method in the service utility returns a <code>java.util.List</code>,
42   * that is translated to an array of
43   * <code>com.liferay.portal.model.ContactSoap</code>. If the method in the
44   * service utility returns a <code>com.liferay.portal.model.Contact</code>,
45   * that is translated to a <code>com.liferay.portal.model.ContactSoap</code>.
46   * Methods that SOAP cannot safely wire are skipped.
47   * </p>
48   *
49   * <p>
50   * The benefits of using the SOAP utility is that it is cross platform
51   * compatible. SOAP allows different languages like Java, .NET, C++, PHP, and
52   * even Perl, to call the generated services. One drawback of SOAP is that it is
53   * slow because it needs to serialize all calls into a text format (XML).
54   * </p>
55   *
56   * <p>
57   * You can see a list of services at
58   * http://localhost:8080/tunnel-web/secure/axis. Set the property
59   * <code>tunnel.servlet.hosts.allowed</code> in portal.properties to configure
60   * security.
61   * </p>
62   *
63   * <p>
64   * The SOAP utility is only generated for remote services.
