    JBossWS is Java EE 5 compliant?

    oberiko

      Hello,

      The last word I've seen on this is the 2007 whitepaper which states that JBossWS is not fully Java EE 5 compliant. Can anyone confirm otherwise?

      For example, if I were to create an application in JBossWS, would I be able to deploy it to another Java EE 5 compliant application server (as listed http://java.sun.com/javaee/overview/compatibility.jsp)?

          As far as I know, JBoss AS 5.x is Java EE 5 compliant. I believe that the "standard" configuration supplied in 5.x is the one that passed the certification tests.

          the 2007 whitepaper which states that JBossWS is not fully Java EE 5 compliant

          Given that AS 5.0.0 was not released until the end of 2008 (Nov or Dec), it doesn't surprise me that a 2007 whitepaper would state such a thing.

            Hi Peter,

            Thanks for your response. While JBoss AS 5 is JEE5 compliant, do you happen to know if the same is true for JBossWS?

            My main concern is portability for any web services I create in JBossWS should my company decide to change application servers in the future.

              JBossWS provides the webservice features of JBossAS, which in turn is Java EE 5 compliant. So as long as you use the specs included in Java EE (jaxws for instance) you should not be concerned about portability.
