Legend: blue: implementation classes, pink: command-line toosl, white: external tool, yellow: ANT tasks

ANT Tasks

Apt

An ANT task to invoke APT.

WsGen

An ANT task to invoke WsGen

WsImport

An ANT task to invoke WsImport

Command-line Tools

APT

A Java SE tool and framework for processing annotations. APT will invoke a JAX-WS AnnotationProcossor for processing Java source files with javax.jws.* annotations and making them web services. APT will compile the Java source files and generate any additional classes needed to make an javax.jws.WebService annotated class a Web service.

WsGen

Tool to process a compiled javax.jws.WebService annotated class and to generate the necessary classes to make it a Web service.

WsImport

Tool to import a WSDL and to generate an SEI (a javax.jws.WebService) interface that can be either implemented on the server to build a web service, or can be used on the client to invoke the web service.

Implementation Classes

Model

The model is used to represent the entire Web Service. The JAX-WS ProcessorActions can process this Model to generate Java artifacts such as the service interface.

Modeler

A Modeler is used to create a Model of a Web Service from a particular Web Web Service description such as a WSDL file.

WSDLModeler

The WSDLModeler processes a WSDL to create a Model.

WebServiceAP

WebServiceAP is a APT AnnotationProcessor for processing javax.jws.* and javax.xml.ws.* annotations. This class is used either by the WsGen (CompileTool) tool or idirectly via the WSAP when invoked by APT.

WSAP

This is the entry point for the WebServiceAP when APT is invoked on a SEI annotated with the javax.jws.WebService annotation.
