Spring in the air for Web services

Interface21, makers of the popular Spring development technologies for Java, are announcing on Tuesday Spring Web Services 1.0.

In development for two years, Spring Web Services 1.0 is an open source technology that provides Web services-based data integration capabilities and will work with Java and other languages.

Features of Spring Web Services 1.0 include enforcement of best practices such as the WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organization) Basic Profile, contract-first development and having a loose coupling between contract and implementation.

Also included is the ability to distribute XML requests to any object depending on message payload, SOAP action header or XPath expression. Incoming XML messages can be handled in standard JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) APIs such as DOM (Document Object Model), JDOM, StAX (Streaming API for XML) or dom4j.

The Object/XML Mapping module in Spring Web Services supports JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) 1 and 2 as well as Castor, XMLBeans, the JiBX framework and XStream.
