How to ensure Metro over Native?": http://community.jboss.org/message/518830#518830 Author : Jan Uhlir Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/espinosa_cz Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- How particular web service implementation is selected? How can I force a particular WS implementation? How can I influence selection of let's say Metro over Native on JBoss?   I cannot find this important piece of information in JBossWS documentation it is quite weird!   What is the WS stack selection route? My naïve imagination how it can work: * During the deployment scan all classes in JAR or WAR for @WebService annotations (and WebServiceProvider?). * If at least one is detected, package is treated as web service containing. It is time to select the stack. * Look for WEB-INF directory (META-INF in some cases), if exists, *look for implementation specific files*. * If *none* found, use JBossWS Native implementation. * If *sun-jaxws.xml* is found and service class is defined there use SUN Metro implementation (at least for this service class) * If *jbossws-cxf.xml* is found and service class is defined there Apache CXF is used (at least for this service class).   How can I verify for sure which stack is used when I call my web service?   Can I mix web service implementations in one project WAR or JAR?  I am asking from curiosity rather then urgent need.   Can someone clarify this for me? Thank you for any hint Espinosa -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/518830#518830
