Can we implement method overloading in web service class?

Question

I would like to implement method overloading in the Java web service class as follows:

public String myMethod(User user)
{
    // My code
} 

public String m         


        

Answer 1

Operation overloading is not allowed for web services.
It is explicitely prohibited in WS-BP and WSDL 1.2 also disallows it.
Even if you found a stack that has some support for this I would recommend not to follow this approach.
Overloading is an OO concept. Don't try to apply them to Service Oriented paradigm
