 The implementation has to provide two operation name providers:
 
 * `class-method` - the provider for the default operation name.
-* `http-path` - the operation name consists of values provided to `@Path` annotation. For example
-if the class is annotated with `@Path(service)` and method `@Path(endpoint)` then the operation name is `/service/endpoint`.
+* `http-path` - the operation name has the following form
+`<HTTP method>:<@Path value of endpoint's class>/<@Path value of endpoint's method>`.
+For example if the class is annotated with `@Path(service)` and method `@Path(endpoint)` then
+the operation name is `GET:/service/endpoint`.
 
 If no operation name provider is specified then `class-method` is used.
