what is jbossws exactly?

[garyg]

Is there somewheres a small description of what exactly JBossWS is or what it offers? Is it a SOAP server, toolkit of sorts, api, and is it still in the early stages or ...

Any help much appreciated?

In short, it is a J2EE-1.4 compatible implementation of the required WS4EE specs. It passes >2100 tests from the Sun compatibility testsuite. It is currently undergoing a complete redesign, which will decouple it from the underlying Axis implementation.
