According to the answer to this question, WebLogic uses the JAX-WS RI internally to implement the JAX-WS standard. Does anyone know if Web Sphere uses any third party package as its web services run-time implementation (JAX-WS, JAX-RPC or any other not standard option that may be available on WAS)?

Thanks a lot!

WebSphere's JAX-WS implementation is built on AXIS2. See this Redbook.

You should not worry about the engine used by the WAS run-time. What you need to be aware of is the specs that you are after supported by WAS.

Look at this URL for the Supported Specs for WAS 7

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/rovr_specs.html

Look at Table 7. Supported specifications and APIs for Web services. The product supports the specifications and APIs in this table.

Also refer to the FAQ on WebServices @ http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.express.doc/info/exp/ae/rwbs_faq.html

  • Thanks, but the implementation is exactly what I care about, not the specs :) – Hila Jul 12 '11 at 09:58

    Hi Hila, Apologies as i did not get the intent of your question. Have a look at this URL: (where it talks about WAS and APache Open Source stack in the WS space) http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.base.iseries.doc/info/iseries/ae/rwbs_faq.html?resultof=%22%41%70%61%63%68%65%22%20%22%61%70%61%63%68%22%20%22%41%78%69%73%22%20%22%61%78%69%22%20 – Manglu Jul 12 '11 at 13:51
