ServiceFactory is a factory object used to create Service objects. To obtain an instance of this abstract class, use the static newInstance( ) method, which attempts to locate a suitable concrete implementation as follows:

• Looks in the system properties for a property called javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory. If this property is defined, its value is assumed to be the class name of a concrete implementation of ServiceFactory.

• Looks for the same property in a file called ${JAVA_HOME}/lib/jaxrpc.properties. If the property is found, its value is assumed to be the required class name.

• Looks for a resource called META-INF/services/javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory in the classpath. If such a resource exists, it is opened and a single line is read from it. If the line is not empty, it is used as the required class name.

• Uses an implementation-dependent default class. In the case of the reference ...
