This document describes how to program WebLogic Web Services using Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC), described at https://jax-rpc.dev.java.net. JAX-RPC is a Sun Microsystems specification that defines the Java APIs for making XML-based remote procedure calls (RPC). In particular, these APIs are used to invoke and get a response from a Web Service using SOAP 1.1, and XML-based protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized and distributed environment.
Note:
JAX-WS is designed to take the place of JAX-RPC in Web services and Web applications. To compare the features that are supported for JAX-WS and JAX-RPC, see "How Do I Choose Between JAX-WS and JAX-RPC?" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Introducing WebLogic Web Services for Oracle WebLogic Server.The following table summarizes the contents of this guide.

Administer WebLogic Web Services using the Administration Console. |
Note:
The JAX-WS implementation in Oracle WebLogic Server is extended from the JAX-WS Reference Implementation (RI) developed by the Glassfish Community (seehttps://jax-ws.dev.java.net/). All features defined in the JAX-WS specification (JSR-224) are fully supported by Oracle WebLogic Server.
The JAX-WS RI also contains a variety of extensions, provided by Glassfish contributors. Unless specifically documented, JAX-WS RI extensions are not supported for use in Oracle WebLogic Server.
