Description

If a instance of dispatch is created in the following way:

    QName serviceName = new QName("http://org.apache.cxf", "stockQuoteReporter");
    Service s = Service.create(serviceName);
 
    QName portName = new QName("http://org.apache.cxf", "stockQuoteReporterPort");
    Dispatch<ByteDataSource> dispatch = s.createDispatch(portName,
                                                         ByteDataSource.class,
                                                         Service.Mode.MESSAGE);}}

then invoking the created Dispatch instance like so:

    dispatch.invoke(new ByteDataSource("".getBytes()));

results in an exception with the message "DataSource is not valid in MESSAGE mode with XML/HTTP binding."

This contradicts your own documentation(and I believe the JAX-WS spec) in that these are this the only binding and mode you can use in combination with a DataSource :

Dispatch objects can use objects that implement the javax.activation.DataSource interface when the following conditions are true:

the Dispatch object is using the HTTP binding.
the Dispatch object is using message mode.
