Description

The JSR-181 specification has a change that defines the rules for when a method should be exposed as a Web method.

— JSR-181 v0.9.2 (Dec '04)
If the implementation bean does not implement a service endpoint
interface, it must include @WebMethod annotations on each method that is
to be exposed as a Web Service operation. More information on the
@WebMethod annotation may be found in section 5.2.

— JSR-181 v1.0 (June '05)
If the implementation bean does not implement a service endpoint
interface, all public methods other than those inherited from
java.lang.Object will be exposed as Web Service operations. This
behavior can be overridden by using the WebMethod annotation to specify
explicitly those public methods that are to be exposed. If a WebMethod
annotation is present, only the methods to which it is applied are
exposed.
