Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.1 takes web services support in the Java platform to the next level. JAX-WS expands support for web services development in Java EE 5 and Java SE significantly. By aligning with Binding (JAXB) 2.x, JAX-WS provides complete support for document-oriented web services, the XML Schema standard, and MTOM/XOP.

In this session, the speaker covers some more advanced features of JAX-WS 2.1, JAXB 2.1 and the RI, and shows you how they simplify the task of developing web services. We will take you well beyond the basic introduction of JAX-WS, and show you how problems people often face when developing web services can be addressed using JAX-WS. Handling schema and service evolution, automating corporate design guidelines, and extending protocol support beyond HTTP are just some of the things that are now possible with JAX-WS.
