                        2. 1. Overview

                        JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 is a Web Services framework that provides tools and infrastructure to develop Web Services solutions for the end users and middleware developers.

                        2. Features in this release

                        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 JAX-WS RI specific APIs. JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 has many bug fixes made for interoperability with .NET 3.0. This is made mostly possible due to WSIT, which uses JAX-WS 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 RI 2.2.3 in a Java EE container in a Java EE portable manner you need to use the standard Java EE 6 deployment descriptor; please refer to the Java EE 6 or Glassfish documentation/samples. The majority of the documentation included with JAX-WS is valid with Java EE 6 as well.

                        3. Online Documentation

                        The documentation for JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 as well as the sample applications will be periodically updated in the JAX-WS project.

                        The architecture document describing the latest JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 can be found here .

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

                        4. Required Software

                        5. Installation Instructions

                        The following applies to the JAX-WS standalone bundles.

                        • Extract JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 bundle
                        • To install on GlassFish v2
                          • If you want to use the JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 overriding the one with Glassfish v2, Download Metro 2.1 bundle from http://metro.java.net and follow the instructions in that bundle
                        • To use with GlassFish v3.1
                          • GlassFish v3.1 has JAX-WS RI 2.2.3, so there is no installation step.
                        • To install on Tomcat
                          • Set CATALINA_HOME to your Tomcat installation.
                          • Run 'ant install', This essentially copies lib/*.jar from the root of JAX-WS RI extracted bundle to CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib
                          • If you are running on top of JDK6, run 'ant install-api' or use ant -help for detailed information.

                        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 RI 2.2.3 bundle.

                        6. Running on top of JDK 6

                        JDK 6u4 includes JAX-WS 2.1 and JAXB 2.1 API and RI. JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 includes RI of JAX-WS/JAXB 2.2. In order to run JAX-WS RI 2.2.3 you would need to specify ONLY jaxws-api.jar, and jaxb-api.jar jars using the Java Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism

                        7. Jar dependency

                        Runtime Jars FastInfoset.jar, activation.jar, http.jar, jaxb-api.jar, jaxb-impl.jar, jaxws-api.jar, jaxws-rt.jar, jsr173_api.jar, jsr181-api.jar, jsr250-api.jar, mimepull.jar, resolver.jar, saaj-api.jar, saaj-impl.jar, woodstox.jar, stax-ex.jar, streambuffer.jar, policy.jar, gmbal-api-only.jar, management-api.jar, ha-api.jar
                        Tooltime Jars All the runtime jars + jaxb-xjc.jar, jaxws-tools.jar

                        8. Current Limitations

                        • The java.util.Collection classes cannot be used with rpc/literal or document/literal BARE style due to a limitation in JAXB. However, they do work in the default document/literal WRAPPED style.

                        9. Bugs Fixed in this release

                        10. Known Bugs/Issues

                        • Although JAX-WS customizations are portable across implementations, the names of WSDL and schema files generated are not specified. Therefore each vendor may and most likely will generate different names. Therefore, when switching between implementations of JAX-WS, it may be necessary to modify your customization files to reflect different WSDL and schema file names.
                        • This holds true for different releases of the JAX-WS RI. The JAX-WS RI may in each release change these file names to resolve bugs. If and when this does occur, a developer would need to change the filenames in their customization files to match the new file names.
                        • A bug in Apt ant task makes it not work by default. Workaround is to use fork="true" option in the apt task.
