package com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.model;

Denotes the binding of a parameter.

This is somewhat like an enumeration (but it is NOT an enumeration.)

The possible values are BODY, HEADER, UNBOUND, and ATTACHMENT. BODY, HEADER, and UNBOUND has a singleton semantics, but there are multiple ATTACHMENT instances as it carries additional MIME type parameter.

So don't use '==' for testing the equality.
