Chapter 4. SOAP-Based Web Services
JAX-WS is an API for producing and consuming REST-style and SOAP-style web services.
Chapter 2 introduced, with a RESTful example, the JAX-WS @WebServiceProvider annotation, which can be used for either
a REST-style or a SOAP-based service. This chapter introduces the @WebService annotation, in effect a refinement of
@WebServiceProvider; a @WebService is emphatically SOAP-based.
JAX-WS
is thus sufficiently rich and varied that it might better be described as a collection of APIs. JAX-WS
is the successor to JAX-RPC, which derives from the XML-RPC discussed in Chapter 1.
The reference implementation for JAX-WS is part of the open source GlassFish project and is named
GlassFish Metro or just Metro for short. The current version of JAX-WS is 2.2.x.
JAX-WS is officially part of enterprise Java but, with JDK 1.6 or greater, JAX-WS services can be compiled and published
using only core Java.
SOAP-based services in JAX-WS can be published with a standard Java web server such as Tomcat or
Jetty; there is also a convenient Endpoint publisher, used earlier to publish a RESTful service.
Apache Axis2 is an alternative implementation of JAX-WS. Axis2, the successor to Axis, is based on JAX-WS but has additional features. Yet another JAX-WS implementation is Apache CXF. This chapter focuses on the Metro implementation of JAX-WS, but the next chapter includes an Axis2 service and client. The Metro, Axis2, and Apache CXF implementations of JAX-WS are sufficiently ...
