This chapter describes Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server support for web services. Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) version 2.2 is supported. Java API for XML-Based Remote Procedure Calls (JAX-RPC) version 1.1 is supported for backward compatibility. This chapter contains the following sections:
Note - If you installed the Web Profile, web services are not supported unless the
optional Metro Web Services Stack add-on component is downloaded from the Update Tool.
Without the Metro add-on component, a servlet or EJB component cannot be a
web service endpoint, and the sun-web.xml and sun-ejb-jar.xml elements related to web services
are ignored. For information about the Update Tool, see Update Tool in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Administration Guide.
Part III, Web Services, in The Java EE 6 Tutorial, Volume I shows how to deploy simple web services to the Enterprise Server.
For additional information about JAX-WS and web services, see Java Specification Request (JSR) 224 and JSR 109.
For information about web services security, see Configuring Message Security for Web Services.
The Fast Infoset standard specifies a binary format based on the XML Information Set. This format is an efficient alternative to XML. For information about using Fast Infoset, see the following links:
