/**
* The <code>WebServiceRefs</code> annotation allows
* multiple web service references to be declared at the
* class level.
*
* <p>
* 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>
* There is no way to associate web service features with
* the injected instances. If an instance needs to be
* configured with web service features, use @WebServiceRef
* to inject the resource along with its features.
*
* <p>
* <b>Example</b>: The <code>StockQuoteProvider</code>
* proxy instance, and the <code>StockQuoteService</code> service
* instance are injected using @WebServiceRefs.
*
* <pre><code>
* &#64;WebServiceRefs({&#64;WebServiceRef(name="service/stockquoteservice", value=StockQuoteService.class),
* &#64;WebServiceRef(name="service/stockquoteprovider", type=StockQuoteProvider.class, value=StockQuoteService.class})
* public class MyClient {
* void init() {
* Context ic = new InitialContext();
* StockQuoteService service = (StockQuoteService) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/service/stockquoteservice");
* StockQuoteProvider port = (StockQuoteProvider) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/service/stockquoteprovider");
* ...
* }
* ...
