Java Web services: JAXB and JAX-WS in Axis2
Apache Axis2 supports a range of data-binding technologies, including the official Java standard, JAXB 2.x. Axis2 also supports the Java standard for Web service configuration, JAX-WS 2.x, as an alternative to its own custom configuration technique. This article demonstrates how you can use JAXB 2.x and JAX-WS 2.x with Axis2 and discusses some of the limitations of Axis2's current support for them.

A much needed Web Services Validation Tool for WSDL and SOAP
With the Web Services Validation Tool for WSDL and SOAP, Web services developers are able to validate Web services messages without deploying actual Web services applications to application servers. This saves a lot of time and effort in deployment and maintenance of test servers. It can be deployed to validate Web services messages and filter invalid or malicious Web services messages. This provides Web services to operate in a more secure and efficient environment.
