 == Interfaces ==
 
-As shown above, the processor provides two interfaces, a command line interface and an API. The command line interface is targeted at applications such as IDEs (e.g. Pollinate), or Web Service containers (e.g. Axis) that require a direct, programmatic interface. The command line interface is intended as a stand-alone tool that can be used to simplify the manual generation of artifacts for deployable Web services. Each user interface supports both modes, Start with Java and Start with WSDL.

+=== Processor API ===
+
+The API is intended for applications such as IDEs (e.g. Pollinate, WebLogic Workshop, etc.), or Web Service containers (e.g. Axis) that require a direct, programmatic interface. The API consists mainly of two interfaces:
+ a. The WsmAnnotationProcessor, which subclasses the TwoPhaseAnnotationProcessor. The TwoPhaseAnnotationProcessor subclasses Sun's AnnotationProcessor and splits the process() method into two check() and generate() (see control subproject).
+ b. The AnnotationModel, which provides access to the metadata for a given Web service through the method "getModel(<name>)".
+
+=== Command Line Interface ===
+
+When invoked through the command line interface, the processor can be run as a stand-alone tool to manually generate artifacts for deployable Web services.
