  • 0

I am totally new to Spring Web Services and so what concept should I start concentrating on and where should I be looking for them and in general what steps would you recommend to get to speed with Spring Webservices Module.

Note: I have an requirement to build Web Service for and consume Web Service from different application and I have never worked with Web Service in the past, I am looking at Spring WS option because both application are developed using Spring Framework, is this a good assumption to look for Spring WS or not ?

Any guidance and suggestion for discussion kind of approach would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

    (…) I am looking at Spring WS option because both application are developed using Spring Framework, is this a good assumption to look for Spring WS or not?

    It’s not a wrong assumption (bad integration between Spring WS and Spring would be a total irony) but you should not exclude other stacks on the fact your applications are using Spring. JAX-WS stacks (like Apache CFX or JAX-WS RI) provide Spring integration as well.

    Personally, I like JAX-WS (that I use for contract-first web services) and, while it’s hard to be more specific without more details about your requirements, I simply don’t think that Spring WS offers any advantages over JAX-WS and I would probably go for Apache CXF in your case.

    Maybe have a look at what others are saying in this previous SO question (please read all answers, the accepted one is not really good in my opinion).
