/**
 * {@code Databinding} is the entry point for all the WebService databinding
 * runtime functionality. Primarily, a Databinding is to serialize/deserialize an
 * XML(SOAP) message to/from a JAVA method invocation and return value which
 * are represented as <code>JavaCallInfo</code> instances.
 * <p>
 * </p>
 * Each Databinding is associated with a <code>MessageFactory</code> instance
 * which can be used to create <code>Message</code> instances that can be
 * deserialized by the Databinding. The <code>MessageFactory</code> also supports
 * the conversion of Oracle Fabric Normalized messages.
 * <p>
 * </p>
 * <blockquote> Following is an example that creates a {@code Databinding} which
 * provides the operations to serialize/deserialize a JavaCallInfo to/from a
 * SOAP message:<br />
 *
 * <pre>
 * DatabindingFactory wsfac = DatabindingFactory();
 * Databinding rt = wsfac.createDatabinding(DatabindingConfig);
