JAX-WS ${IMPL_VERSION} ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX}  is a Web Services framework that provides tools and infrastructure to develop Web Services solutions for the end users and middleware developers.

This release brings in the highly pluggable framework through abstractions such as Tube and Message. Refer to the latest architecture document. This architecture document is a glorified javadoc which includes all the JAXWS RI specific APIs. JAXWS  ${IMPL_VERSION}  ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX}  has many bug fixes made for interoperability with .NET 3.0. This is made mostly possible due to WSIT, which uses JAXWS plugabble architecture to plug in support for WS-Metadata, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Transaction, WS-SecureConversation and WS-Security.

If you wish to use JAX-WS  ${IMPL_VERSION}  ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX}  RI in a Java EE container in a Java EE portable manner you need to use the standard Java EE 5 deployment descriptor; please refer to the Java EE 5 or Glassfish documentation/samples. The majority of the documentation included with JAX-WS is valid with Java EE 5 as well.

The documentation for JAX-WS  ${IMPL_VERSION}  ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX}  as well as the sample applications will be periodically updated in the JAX-WS project.

The architecture document describing the latest JAXWS  ${IMPL_VERSION}  ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX}  can be found here.

Please go to http://jax-ws.dev.java.net for the latest documentation and samples.

The following applies to the JAX-WS standalone bundles.

If you intend to only invoke an already existing Web service, then alternatively you can use the wsimport and wsgen scripts in the bin directory of the JAX-WS ${IMPL_VERSION} ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX} bundle.

JDK 6 includes JAXWS 2.0 and JAXB 2.0 API and RI. JAX-WS ${IMPL_VERSION} ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX}  includes newer and enhanced APIs of JAXWS/JAXB 2.0. In order to run JAX-WS ${IMPL_VERSION} ${IMPL_VERSION_SUFFIX} you would need to put jaxws-api.jar, jaxb-api.jar, jsr173_api.jar and saaj-api.jar.

For details see Endorsed Directory Mechanism. Above, JAXWS_HOME points to the root directory of the extracted JAXWS RI bundle. JDK6_HOME points to JDK 6 installation directory.
