Default

Default

Supports SOAP 1.2 over HTTP

POJO support

Supports web service deployment (new deployment)

Supports web service deployment (expose existing deployed Java EE components as a web service)

Supports optional web.xml file

Supports optional wsdl file

Supports javax.jws.WebService annotation

Supports javax.xml.ws.WebServiceProvider annotation

Supports web service annotation without web service descriptor file

Supports web service descriptor file without annotation

Supports web service annotation with web service descriptor file - web service deployment descriptor file override or enhance web service annotations

SEI is not required

For servlet based endpoints using web service annotation, enforce full qualified name of the service implementation bean class must be used as <servlet-link> element in web.xml

ServiceName attribute of the webservice annotation prefixed with "/" maps to <url-pattern> element in web.xml

No more than 1 servlet mapping should be specified and the url-pattern must be an exact match pattern.

Only methods annotated with @WebMethod in the service implementation bean are exposed to the client

Supports optional @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy annotations for lifecycle event callbacks. (p44)

Supports @Resource annotation to access WebServiceContext (p44)

Injects @EJB, @WebServiceRef, and other @Resource annotations

Allows a developer able to specify protocol binding on a web service endpoint by using javax.xml.ws.BindingType annotation

axis2.GeronimoHandlerChainBuilder needs update

Able to ignore JAX-RPC mapping file for JAX-WS projects (p47)

Annotated JAX-WS components may be mixed with deployment descriptor based JAX-RPC components in a module (p47)

Supports OASIS XML Catalogs 1.1 specification to be used to resolve web service description document (wsdl/xsd) (p47)

Supports HandlerChain (both logical and protocol types)

Axis2

  - handlers must be able to transform the SOAP header

Axis2

  - handlers must be able to transform just parts of the body

Axis2

  - handlers must be able to just read a message where no additions/modifications to the message are made

Axis2

  - handler chains must be properly filtered by service name, port name or protocol binding information

Axis2

^#cxf1

  - Supports javax.jws.HandlerChain annotation

AXIS2-2218

^#cxf2

  - The handler-chain element in deployment descriptor overwrites the @HandlerChain annotation and the order of the handlers is maintained

AXIS2-2218

  - Supports handler run after the container has performed the security constraint checks or method level authorization

Axis2

  - Supports optional @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy annotations for lifecycle event callbacks

  - a handler may access the env-entrys of the component by JNDI lookup or @Resource injection

Axis2

Publish the service-ref WSDL

Publish the deployed WSDL

Make the required service interface implementation available at the JNDI namespace location java:comp/env/service-ref-name. (p135)

^#cxf3

Deployment time binding info (for example, bind port-component with port-component-link)

Security - basic auth

Security - symmetric HTTPS

EJB Support

Supports javax.ejb.Stateless annotation

Supports optional deployment descriptor file (ejb-jar.xml)

Supports optional wsdl file

Supports javax.jws.WebService annotation

Supports javax.xml.ws.WebServiceProvider annotation

Supports web service annotation without web service descriptor file

Supports web service descriptor file without annotation

Supports web service annotation with web service descriptor file - web service deployment descriptor file override or enhance web service annotations

Supports optional @PostConstruct or @PreDestroy annotation for lifecycle event callbacks. (p44)

Supports @Resource annotation to access message context and security info (p44)

Axis2

  -a handler may access the env-entry-names and env-entrys by JNDI lookup.

Axis2

  -the handler-chain in DD can be processed and the ordering of the handler must be maintained

Axis2

Publish the service-ref WSDL

Publish the deployed WSDL

Make the required service interface implementation avail at the JNDI namespace location java:comp/env/service-ref-name. (p135)

Deployment time binding info (for example, bind port-component with port-component-link)

Security - basic auth

Security - symmetric HTTPS

Client support

May reside in a Java EE container (e.g. an EJB that uses a web service)

^#cxf3

May reside in a Java EE client container

^#cxf3

Could use J2SE or J2ME

Allows the client to locate a service interface by using JNDI APIs

^#cxf3

Allows the client to call any SOAP 1.1, 1.2 based web services via HTTP 1.1 or HTTPS SOAP binding

Packaging - CXF or Axis2

Provide CXF and Axis2 as geronimo plugins?

POJO support

JAX-RPC 1.1 based web service applications should continue to work (handled by Axis1)
