axis2, cxf, spring or Metro

[Shehan Simen <ss...@itree.com.au>]

Hi,
We are evaluating different ws platforms to select the most suitable one for our big projects to come in future. I would like to know whether axis2 is supporting JAX-WS which is the preferred standard. Seems adb is still buggy and no fully schema support.
Please advise us soon as this is a big decision to our company.

Hi Shehan,

Can you please tell me what you mean  by "wsdl2java web service"? In Axis2
Jax-ws implementation You can simply put a jar file containing a webservice
annotated service class to servicejars directory and make it a web service.

if you want to make stubs from WSDL with jaxb binding you can use wsimport
tool.

thank you,

It doesn't seem to be documented there, but anyways, use "-d jaxbri"
for jaxb. As for Spring and jaxws - someone who knows jaxws will have
to comment. AFAICT jaxws doesn't use an axis2 services.xml file nor
the typical MessageRecievers and therefore I'm not what state spring
and jaxws is in for axis2. Anyways, see the axis2 spring guide because
setting up a static reference to get your spring beans is simple - see
this post from a few days ago if interested:

Hi Keith,
Thanx for the reply.
Could you please tell me axis2 tutorial which describe how to write a wsdl2java web service using jaxb binding? If I use jaxb data binding, that means I am using jax-ws, right?

Regards,
Shehan

Hi Shehan,

Yes Axis2 does support JAX-WS. ADB does not have full schema support but it does support the 90% case very effectively. It supports the most widely used schema constructs and most of the time they are the only ones that you will be using. In case you need 100% schema support you could always use XMLBeans with Axis2. But ADB will give you the best performance.

I am not too familiar with the other frameworks but here are some points about Axis2. Axis2 performs very well and also is very extensible. If you find something that Axis2 lacks out of the box there are several plug points that you can plug into and get your job done the way you want. Also there are quite a few companies around that provide enterprise support for Axis2.

Thanks,
Keith.
