Preferred Port Mappings

Use this page to view and manage the preferred port mappings for a Web service. Each port type associated with a Web service can have a preferred port specified.

When you have a port type (Service Endpoint Interface) with multiple ports defined, a preferred port specifies the port to return when the Service.getPort(Class) method is called with only the Service Endpoint Interface.
