newfeat Best practice: The WebSphere Application Server Version
6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services extends the capabilities of this product
to introduce support for the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS)
2.0 programming model. JAX-WS is the next generation Web services programming
model complimenting the foundation provided by the Java API for XML-based
RPC (JAX-RPC) programming model. Using the strategic JAX-WS programming model,
development of Web services and clients is simplified through support of a
standards-based annotations model. Although the JAX-RPC programming model
and applications are still supported, take advantage of the easy-to-implement
JAX-WS programming model to develop new Web services applications and clients. bprac
