Alessio Soldano [http://community.jboss.org/people/asoldano] modified the document: "JBossWS" To view the document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13504 -------------------------------------------------------------- *JBossWS* is a web service framework developed as part of the http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas JBoss Application Server. It implements the JAX-WS specification that defines a programming model and run-time architecture for implementing web services in Java, targeted at the http://java.sun.com/javaee/technologies/javaee5.jsp Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6). Starting with JBossWS-3.0, JBossWS provides a *general web service integration layer*. 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 +JBossWS Native+, +Apache CXF+ and +GlassFish Metro+. 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. As of JBossWS-4.0, finally, the focus has moved mainly to +*Apache CXF* integration+ into +JBoss Application Server+. As a consequence, most of the development is in the are of +JBossWS-CXF+ stack, while the former +JBossWS Native+ stack is still supported for JAXRPC functionalities. The +Glassfish Metro+ integration has been dropped. h2. JBossWS 4.x series The JBossWS-4.x documentation is available on the https://docs.jboss.org/ docs.jboss.org area. Here is a list of the sensible documentation pages for the 4.x series: * https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/JBWS JBoss Web Services Documentation * Download * Installation * Samples testsuite * Setup your IDE * FAQ * AS7 WS FAQ * Secure transport h2. JBossWS 3.x series To get started, please have a look at the http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13530 Quick Start, the http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13531 Guided Tour or the http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13532 User Guide. h3. User documentation The user documentation is organized into categories related to the real world lifecycle of a webservice application. This way it should cope with most of the issues ws users have to deal with, from the technology choices before the implementation, to testing and all issues concerning the productization of a service / service client. Please refer to the categories linked below or pick from the most important pages listed. A http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13530 Quick Start documentation for the native stack is also available for skilled users. If you don't know where to start from, please consider taking a http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13531 Guided Tour along the JBossWS documentation. | *What are web services all about?* (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13556) * Web Services concepts (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13555) * From concepts to technology (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13554) * Articles and specifications links (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13505) | *Setup your development environment* (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13557) * Download (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13546)** * Installation (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13545) * Samples testsuite (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13550) * JAX-WS Tools (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13544) * Setup_your_IDE (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13552) | | *Developing web services* (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13570) * Common User Guide (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13972) * Stack Native User Guide (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13532) * Stack Metro User Guide (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13561) * Stack CXF User Guide (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13562) * Tutorials (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13563) * Advanced samples (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13567) * FAQ (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13646) | *Moving your services to a staging system* (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13559) * Staging tests (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13525) * Authentication (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13533) * Secure transport (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13534) * Capturing messages (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13558) | | *Taking your services into production* (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13560) * Endpoint management (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13535) * WS-Security options (http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13538) | | h2.
