/**
* An opaque representation of an application endpoint. Typically, an
* Endpoint
object represents a business entity, but it
* may represent a party of any sort. Conceptually, an
* Endpoint
object is the mapping of a logical name
* (example, a URI) to a physical location, such as a URL.
*
* For messaging using a provider that supports profiles, an application
* does not need to specify an endpoint when it sends a message because
* destination information will be contained in the profile-specific header.
* However, for point-to-point plain SOAP messaging, an application must supply
* an Endpoint
object to
* the SOAPConnection
method call
* to indicate the intended destination for the message.
* The subclass {@link URLEndpoint} can be used when an application
* wants to send a message directly to a remote party without using a
* messaging provider.
*
* The default identification for an Endpoint
object
* is a URI. This defines what JAXM messaging
* providers need to support at minimum for identification of
* destinations. A messaging provider
* needs to be configured using a deployment-specific mechanism with
* mappings from an endpoint to the physical details of that endpoint.
*
* Endpoint
objects can be created using the constructor, or
* they can be looked up in a naming
* service. The latter is more flexible because logical identifiers
* or even other naming schemes (such as DUNS numbers)
* can be bound and rebound to specific URIs.
