JAX-RPC Vs JAX-WS

[Deepika Joshi]

I wanted to know the differences between JAX-RPC & JAX-WS web service & I google the same topic.

I noticed three major differences,

- JAX-WS support asynchronous & message oriented web service
but JAX-RPC does not

- JAX-WS binding data (data binding define in JAX-B) & support all (data) type of XML schema
but JAX-RPC uses Java type binding, supports 90% XML data type

- JAX-WS uses anotation (feature of Java 5) and DD is optional
JAX-RPC DD is must

Here are the links, if you are interested to know the difference in detail,

Good Luck.

Try Overview section here: https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/nonav/2.1/docs/UsersGuide.html

Also, chapter 1 of JAX-WS specification has a section on goals, which describes new features of JAX-WS.

Hi,

I am curious to know data binding case which was not supported by JAX-RPC.
Can some one please share the example or some information?

Thanks....

Deepika,

Please look at the following lists of types for JAX-RPC versus JAXB.

Types Supported by JAX-RPC - Binding XML Schemas
