I have gone through a complete example of creating a web service and a web service console client using JAX-WS and I created them successfully. Now I’m trying to create an android web service client, but It doesn’t seem to work for android. I added the JRE System Library for Java SE 6 in the android project, since it includes the JAX-WS API, and still it didn’t work.
I’m currently looking into the Ksoap2-android library, but still wonder why can’t I use JAX-WS for creating the android web service?! I thought android was built on java; therefore, I can use any existing java library to build my android apps. I previously used the java api for xml processing JAXP to parse XML files on android and it worked. Why isn’t this the same case with JAX-WS?
