JAX-WS Runtime

Before creating Web service applications with JAX-WS Tools a JAX-WS runtime must be downloaded, installed and configured in the workbench.

Currently we support the Apache CXF runtime for JAX-WS development from version 2.0.6 upwards. We recommend using a version from the CXF 2.1.x or the current 2.2.x stream.

The Apache CXF runtime can be downloaded from the Apache CXF Downloads page.
