Creates a pipeline.

This pluggability layer enables the upper layer to
control exactly how the pipeline is composed.

JAX-WS is going to have its own default implementation
when used all by itself, but it can be substituted by
other implementations.
 See PipelineAssemblerFactory for how PipelineAssemblers are located. 
 TODO: the JAX-WS team felt that no Pipe should be relying on the SEIModel, so it is no longer given to the assembler. Talk to us if you need it.

public interface PipelineAssembler {
    
Creates a new pipeline for clients.
 When a JAX-WS client creates a proxy or a Dispatch from a Service, JAX-WS runtime internally uses this method to create a new pipeline as a part of the initilization. 
Params:
context – 
     Object that captures various contextual information
     that can be used to determine the pipeline to be assembled.
Throws:
WebServiceException – 
     if there's any configuration error that prevents the
     pipeline from being constructed. This exception will be
     propagated into the application, so it must have
     a descriptive error.
Returns:

     non-null freshly created pipeline./**

Creates a new pipeline for servers.

When a JAX-WS server deploys a new endpoint, it internally
uses this method to create a new pipeline as a part of the
initialization.
 Note that this method is called only once to set up a 'master pipeline', and it gets copied from it. 
Params:
context – 
     Object that captures various contextual information
     that can be used to determine the pipeline to be assembled.
Throws:
WebServiceException –
