Chapter 8. Optional Components

8.1. Web Services Stack

This release provides two options for the Web Services stack:

JBoss Web Services Native: JBoss Web Services Native is the Java EE 5-compliant JBoss implementation of web services standards. It is the only web services stack for versions of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform prior to 5.1, and is the default web services stack in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.
JBoss Web Services CXF: JBoss Web Services CXF provides most of the features available in Apache CXF (including WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, basic WS-Trust, MTOM), plus common JBoss Web Services stack features like endpoint metrics, record management and endpoint address rewrite. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5 introduces JBoss Web Services CXF stack as an optional Web Services stack.

Select which Web Services stack to use during installation. To change the Web Services stack at a later date, reinstall the Platform.
