An out
parameter is an argument to a method or function that returns a value (passes it
out) instead of passing it to the method or function. In other languages this
would be called passing an argument by reference.
Since
Java does not support passing primitive types by reference AXIS uses
holder classes to simulate this behavior.

Subject: What is the difference between a return value and an out (in/out) parameter?Hi
I am puzzled by the section 7.1 of the SOAP1.1 spec, describing the RPC response message:
The method response is viewed as a single struct containing an accessor for the return value and each [out] or [in/out] parameter.What is the difference between a return value and an out parameter?
Is there any difference in Java?If somebody has an enlightening example it would help me.
Lene
