/**
* Provides the SOAP utility for the
* {@link com.liferay.roster.service.RosterServiceUtil} service utility. The
* static methods of this class calls the same methods of the service utility.
* However, the signatures are different because it is difficult for SOAP to
* support certain types.
*
* <p>
* ServiceBuilder follows certain rules in translating the methods. For example,
* if the method in the service utility returns a {@link java.util.List}, that
* is translated to an array of {@link com.liferay.roster.model.RosterSoap}.
* If the method in the service utility returns a
* {@link com.liferay.roster.model.Roster}, that is translated to a
* {@link com.liferay.roster.model.RosterSoap}. Methods that SOAP cannot
* safely wire are skipped.
* </p>
*
* <p>
* The benefits of using the SOAP utility is that it is cross platform
* compatible. SOAP allows different languages like Java, .NET, C++, PHP, and
* even Perl, to call the generated services. One drawback of SOAP is that it is
* slow because it needs to serialize all calls into a text format (XML).
* </p>
*
* <p>
* You can see a list of services at http://localhost:8080/api/axis. Set the
* property <b>axis.servlet.hosts.allowed</b> in portal.properties to configure
* security.
* </p>
*
* <p>
* The SOAP utility is only generated for remote services.
