Announcement:JBossWS 3.2.2.GA is out!
JBossWS was born in 2006 to provide JBoss Application Server with a JAX-WS web service stack, being thus part of the JBoss' Java EE5 offering.
It all started from a complete rewrite of the previous J2EE-1.4 compatible Web Services implementation and ended up in a feature-rich JAX-WS compatible web service stack (JBossWS-Native) that contributed to the JBoss Application Server 5 successful JavaEE 5 certification.
At the beginning of 2008, Thomas Diesler and Heiko Braun released the first version of the new JBossWS Web Service Framework, which basically provides an integration layer of third party web service stacks on top of multiple JBoss AS versions.
Currently, with Alessio Soldano leading the community project and Richard Opalka and other developers contributing to it, the main focus is on providing additional value over the standards implemented in collaboration with the supported stacks' communities. This is achieved ensuring first class integration with the JBoss Application Server, common management, configuration, tooling, samples, etc.
