What is Spring Web Services?

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.

- Spring-WS resembles that of Spring-MVC.
- - 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 with Acegi Security. This means you can use
- your existing Acegi configuration for your SOAP service as well.
- - Built by Maven: This assists you in effectively reusing the Spring Web Services artifacts
- in your own Maven-based projects.
- - Apache license. You can confidently use Spring-WS in your project.
