Dazed & Confused

Some of the guys at work are testing out which WS implementation to use. From the little I know (I haven’t done much WebServices), there are a handful of decent ones.

• Axis 1
• Axis 2
• XFire
• Spring WS (Ok, it’s only on Milestone, but it should be decent if it has the same quality as the rest of the Spring stack)

Any new ones I don’t know of? What’s your experience with these?

Before you start using Google WTP i strongly sugest that you read this post by Jevgeni Kabanov. Do also check out the alternative projets the post refers to! There are lots of alternatives out there:)
Opinion: Will Google Web Toolkit Matter?

I’ve listed some of the projects here if you don’t bother to read the post(but you should):

• Java2Script:
  Converts java to java-script (Has plugin for eclipse and uses Eclipse SWT libraries for the graphical elements)
• DoJo:
  Provides a JavaScript Widget toolkit
• Echo2:
  “a platform for developing web-based applications that approach the capabilities of rich clients”
• DWR:
  “DWR is easy AJAX for Java.”
