Abstract
The IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Toolkit Feature Pack for Web Services provides features for assembling and deploying Java™ Web services for application components
Download Description
The WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Feature Pack for Web Services provides features for assembling and deploying reliable, asynchronous, secure, and interoperable Java Web services for application components. The WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Feature Pack for Web Services is designed for IBM WebSphere Application Server, version 6.1, extended with the WebSphere Application Server feature pack for Web services. This feature supports the development of Web services from annotated Java or from Web Services Description Language (WSDL) using any XML Schema.
The WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services extends the capabilities of WebSphere Application Server V6.1 to enable Web services messages to be sent asynchronously, reliably, and securely, focusing on interoperability with other vendors and to provide support for the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0 programming model.
The Feature Pack for Web Services introduces a set of Web services standards that support interoperable and reliable Web services applications. You can send messages asynchronously, which means that your messages can communicate reliably even if one of the parties is temporarily offline, busy, or not available. You can send messages securely and rest assured your messages are not vulnerable to attack. You can be confident that your communication is reliable and reaches its destination while interoperating with other vendors.
JAX-WS simplifies application development through a standard, annotation-based model to develop Web services applications and clients. A common set of binding rules for XML and Java objects make it easy to incorporate XML data and processing functions in Java applications; and a further set of enhancements help you send binary attachments, such as images or files, with the Web services request in an optimal way.
Simplified management using Web services profiles makes it easy to configure and reuse configurations, so you can introduce new Web Services profiles seamlessly in the future. These configurations are captured in a grouping called Policy Sets which allows you to select and associate different qualities of service with an application. You can configure policy sets to allow only those capabilities within a given WS-Interoperability (WS-I) profile, thereby limiting and ensuring that the only configurable portions are those that are desired. WS-I is an open industry organization chartered to promote Web Services interoperability across platforms, operating systems and programming languages.
The Feature Pack for Web Services includes support for:
- New Web services standards, including:
- Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM)
- Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing)
- SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM)
- New standards-based programming model support:
- Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS 2.0)
- Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB 2.0)
- SOAP 1.2
- SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ 1.3)
