Using JAX-WS With Maven

Java API for XML-Based Web Services, JAX-WS, is a fundamental technology for developing SOAP-based and RESTful Java Web services, and is a key part of project Metro, the web services technology stack in GlassFish. In addition to providing a high performance runtime, JAX-WS offers the wsimport and wsgen tools for creating web services and web service clients. The wsimport tool takes as input a Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) file and generates JAX-WS portable artifacts such as a Service Endpoint Interface (SEI). The wsgen tool reads a web service endpoint class and generates all the required artifacts for web service deployment and invocation.
