This question has already been asked few times in past few days. http://www.coderanch.com/t/585229/Web-Services/java/new-Java-JAX-WS
I am quoting Jeff from that post:-

Basically, the version of JAX-WS included in Java SE 7 is the 2.2 specification. Some new features are listed on the following link: http://jax-ws.java.net/nonav/2.2.6-2/docs/ch02.html.

Here is an excerpt that features changed between versions 2.1.7 and 2.2:

Add WS-Addressing 1.0 Metadata support as per 2.2 spec

Support for @XmlElement on SEI's wrapper parameter

Support for @XmlType on exception classes

Implement HTTP SPI

mplement Endpoint API with features

Generate new constructors in the generated Service class(service level features, wsdllocation) *

Add support for customizing wrapper wsdl:part names as defined in 2.2

Add support for customizing wsdl:message name using @WebFault as defined in 2.2

Fault customization should accept fully qualified name of the exception class to be generated

Customization of Service should accept fully qualified class name

Add Xnocompile option for wsgen similar to wsimport

XPath expressions in jax-ws customization can now select multiple nodes

Disable server-side exception stacktrace for service specific exceptions

Optimzation of LogicalMessage implementation

wsimport now handles URL redirection of imported wsdls correctly

* I experienced myself this addition in the javax.xml.ws.Service class (extended by proxy generators created by wsimport). Unless your application classpath is configured in a very specific way, this may force you to stay with JAX-WS 2.0/2.1 if you are using Java SE 6, and go on with JAX-WS 2.2 if you use Java SE 7.
