Web Services Interoperability Between Apache Axis2 and the WebSphere Web Services Feature Pack, Part 1

The WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services (hereafter called WSFP) includes a set of Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) samples. These samples demonstrate the usage of simple message exchange patterns (MEPs), using both synchronous and asynchronous programming models, and support for SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2. The samples included with the WSFP can be attached to different Web services Quality of Service (QoS) protocols. A QoS is the non-functional value added to the underlying technology of Web services that provides improvements in security, reliability, availability or performance. Web services server vendors must comply with standard specifications of these QoS's to interoperate successfully with other vendor Web services implementations.
