SOAP is a language- and platform-independent protocol. To be able to use SOAP from Java, we'll need some Java classes that can create and manipulate messages conforming to the SOAP protocol. JAXM is not the first set of Java APIs for dealing with SOAP; earlier software from Apache and IBM provided SOAP capabilities for Java. In this book, we'll focus on JAXM because, although it is still in an early access release, it will become the baseline for future SOAP messaging products in Java. There is still quite a bit of room for vendors to add innovative features or improve ease-of-use, so JAXM will likely become the starting point, rather than the final word, in SOAP support for Java applications.
