JAX-WS

JAX-WS RI 2.3.1 is a Web Services framework that provides tools and infrastructure to develop Web Services solutions for the end users and middleware developers.

With JAX-WS RI 2.3.1, clients and web services have a big advantage: the platform independence of the Java programming language.

Documentation

This release includes the following documentation:

• Release Notes
• Users Guide

The documentation/samples included with JAX-WS that is distributed on GitHub describes how to use JAX-WS to develop and deploy your webservices endpoints in a servlet container.

The deployment is demonstrated using JAX-WS RI specific proprietary deployment descriptor sun-jaxws.xml.
