<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p><strong>JBossWS</strong> is a web service framework developed as part of the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas">JBoss Application Server</a>. <br/>It implements the JAX-WS specification that defines a programming model and run-time architecture for implementing web services in Java, targeted at the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://java.sun.com/javaee/technologies/javaee5.jsp">Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6)</a>.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Starting with JBossWS-3.0, JBossWS provides a <strong>general web service integration layer</strong>. For the first time, JBoss users have the choice to deploy one of three possible certified JAXWS stacks in the latest released JBoss Application Server versions. The supported stacks are <em><span>JBossWS Native</span></em>, <em>Apache CXF</em> and <em><span>GlassFish Metro</span></em>. Since each stack comes with its own specific functional feature set and performance characteristics users are able to deploy the stack that best suits their needs. There is a common deployment model and management interface to all deployable stacks.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>As of JBossWS-4.0, finally, the focus has moved mainly to <em><strong>Apache CXF</strong> integration</em> into <em>JBoss Application Server</em>. As a consequence, most of the development is in the are of <em>JBossWS-CXF</em> stack, while the former <em>JBossWS Native</em> stack is still supported for JAXRPC functionalities. The <em>Glassfish Metro</em> integration has been dropped.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h2>JBossWS 4.x series</h2><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The JBossWS-4.x documentation is available on the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://docs.jboss.org/">docs.jboss.org</a> area.
