/**
* The <code>WebServiceRef</code> annotation is used to
* define a reference to a web service and

* It can be used to inject both service and proxy
* instances. These injected references are not thread safe.
* If the references are accessed by multiple threads,
* usual synchronization techinques can be used to
* support multiple threads.
*
* <p>
* Web service references are resources in the Java EE 5 sense.
* The annotations (for example, {@link Addressing}) annotated with
* meta-annotation {@link WebServiceFeatureAnnotation}
* can be used in conjunction with <code>WebServiceRef</code>.
* The created reference MUST be configured with annotation's web service
* feature.
*
* <p>
* For example, in the code below, the injected
* <code>StockQuoteProvider</code> proxy MUST
* have WS-Addressing enabled as specifed by the
* {@link Addressing}
* annotation.
*
* <pre><code>
* public class MyClient {
* @Addressing
* @WebServiceRef(StockQuoteService.class)
* private StockQuoteProvider stockQuoteProvider;
* ...
* }
* </code></pre>
*
* <p>
* If a JAX-WS implementation encounters an unsupported or unrecognized
* annotation annotated with the <code>WebServiceFeatureAnnotation</code>
* that is specified with <code>WebServiceRef</code>, an ERROR MUST be given.
