ServiceBuilder generated this class. Modifications in this class will be overwritten the next time is generated.

This class provides a SOAP utility for the com.liferay.portal.service.PortalServiceUtil service utility. The static methods of this class calls the same methods of the service utility. However, the signatures are different because it is difficult for SOAP to support certain types.

ServiceBuilder follows certain rules in translating the methods. For example, if the method in the service utility returns a java.util.List, that is translated to an array of com.liferay.portal.model.PortalSoap. If the method in the service utility returns a com.liferay.portal.model.Portal, that is translated to a com.liferay.portal.model.PortalSoap. Methods that SOAP cannot safely wire are skipped.

The benefits of using the SOAP utility is that it is cross platform compatible. SOAP allows different languages like Java, .NET, C++, PHP, and even Perl, to call the generated services. One drawback of SOAP is that it is slow because it needs to serialize all calls into a text format (XML).

You can see a list of services at http://localhost:8080/tunnel-web/secure/axis. Set the property tunnel.servlet.hosts.allowed in portal.properties to configure security.

The SOAP utility is only generated for remote services.
