java.sun.com/webservices, the Web services hub for the Java platform, is released today with a completely redesigned website. The content is now much better organized using the tabbed approach and hopefully you'll find it easier to navigate and find your content intuitively. Here are some of the key points I'd like highlight to help you get started:

• All the content from previous website is now re-factored into the new website. Please leave a comment on this blog if you see a broken link or missing content.
• Added Why for JAX-WS, JAXB, WSIT, JAXP and XWSS. It explains in one line why you should look at any of these technologies. And of course, you can always dig deeper by clicking on the project name.
• What's New page does exactly what it says. It highlights new releases/AskTheExpert/blogs/screencasts in the Java Web services stack. We plan to update this page on a regular basis.
• A consolidated FAQ page with links to FAQ of each Web services technology.
• Technologies tab classifies the Web services into Core, Enhanced and Secure. We hope you find this classification intuitive.
• Reference tab serve all your documentation needs (tutorials, samples, tech articles, screencasts and others).
• Community tab shows how we remain in touch with each other. For example, list of all the Web services related forums, all Web services blogs, all java.net projects. You can subscribe to the aggregated feed here.
• Support tab is how you can get free and paid support on Web services. It has links to the different training paths Sun offers for Web services. It also has links to all issue trackers for each of the Web services projects.
• Download tab has clear links to GlassFish download which is eventually how all the Web services technologies are delivered and to individual technology download, if that is what you like.

Leave a comment on this blog if you like the new look, don't like it or would like to see more/different content. Read Sekhar and Manveen's entry as well.

Happy surfing!
