Ming,
It has nothing to do with YOUR code. You're calling a procedure on the
SERVER.
In this case the procedure defined by the server is
example.getStateName. It can be foo.bar, if you change it on both ends.
It's just like a web page. You can create a web page with any (legal)
name you want. But if you want a browser to display the page, the
browser has to use the URI defined at the server.
