I'm -1 on a change to the actual MessageReceiver interface. That would require that we implement these semantics for JAX-WS services that may not implement the Pingable interface.
I would prefer this be an additional interface that the MessageReceiver impl could choose to implement, but is not required. That's just my opinion though.

Seems like we are agreeing on having service classes implement the pingable interface.But in order to do that we need to add a (ping) method to the message receiver interface, since message receiver needs to have some method to check the service class (if the message receiver has a associated service class)..
