Java SE Technologies and Web Services
Web services are web-based enterprise applications that use open, XML-based standards and transport protocols to exchange data with clients.
These are the Java technology APIs for web services that are included in Java SE 7:
| Name | Version | Package | More Information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Java API for XML Web Services (JAXWS) | 2.1 | javax.xml.ws | JAXWS Home Page |
| Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) | 2.1 | javax.xml.bind | JAXB Guide |
| SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) | 1.3 | javax.xml.soap | SAAJ Home Page |

These APIs are also available as separate downloads at the Java Web Services home page and are included in the open-source Java EE 5-compliant application server at Project GlassFish.
Java SE 6 also contains command line tools to assist you in creating web services. Please see Web Services Tools for more information.
