What is Spring Web Services?

+ Spring Web Services is a product of the Spring community
focused on creating document-driven Web services. Spring Web Services aims to facilitate contract-first
SOAP service development, allowing for the creation of flexible web services using one of the many ways
to manipulate XML payloads.

- Makes the Best Practice an Easy Practice: Spring Web Services makes enforcing best practices
easier. This includes practices such as the WS-I basic profile, Contract-First development, and having
- a loose coupling between contract and implementation.

- Powerful mappings:
- You can distribute incoming XML request to any object, depending on message
- payload, SOAP Action header, or an XPath expression.
-
- -
- XML API support:
- Incoming XML messages can be handled in standard JAXP APIs such as DOM, SAX,
- and StAX, but also JDOM, dom4j, XOM, or even marshalling technologies.

+ - Flexible XML Marshalling: The Object/XML Mapping module in the Spring Web Services distribution
supports JAXB 1 and 2, Castor, XMLBeans, JiBX, and XStream. And because it is a separate module,
- you can use it in non-Web services code as well.

- Supports WS-Security:
- WS-Security allows you to sign SOAP messages, encrypt and decrypt them,
- or authenticate against them.

- Integrates with Acegi Security:
- The WS-Security implementation of Spring Web Services provides
- integration withSpring Security.
- This means you can use your existing configuration for your SOAP service as well.
