What is the purpose of the @WebServiceClient annotation?

Question

I'm having trouble finding documentation as to the purpose of this annotation from some generated Java classes. It appears that when I comment this annotation out of the code the SoapController class runs fine and can interact with the server without issue. Is there a reason for this line? Is it okay for me to comment it out in production?

This actually stems from a larger issue where I have to "fail-over" the server the webservice we are connecting to is on. If server 1 fails, I need the webservice to try to connect to server 2 and so on.

Solution

This explains it all here. Seems more of an IDE thing.
