/**
 * A ParameterDescripton corresponds to parameter to a method on an SEI. That SEI could be explicit
 * (i.e. WebService.endpointInterface=sei.class) or implicit (i.e. public methods on the service
 * implementation are the contract and thus the implicit SEI).
 * <p/>
 * ParameterDescriptons contain information that is only relevent for and SEI-based service, i.e.
 * one that is invoked via specific methods. This class does not exist for Provider-based services
 * (i.e. those that specify WebServiceProvider)
