Java SE 6 Update 4 is released - "Good Riddance" with JAX-WS Endorsed
Java SE 6 Update 4 is now released. Download it here.
If you are a Metro user
(either JAX-WS or
WSIT) then this is a milestone release
for you because it includes JAX-WS 2.1 API in the rt.jar. This
means that, as a user, you no longer you need to copy JAX-WS or JAXB API jars in
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed as described
here,
here and
here. Hurrah!
After you have downloaded and installed JDK 1.6 U4, java
-version shows:
java version "1.6.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_04-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode, sharing)
wsgen -version shows:
JAX-WS RI 2.1.1 in JDK 6
wsimport -version shows:
JAX-WS RI 2.1.1 in JDK 6
Additionally, you can also verify by greping for
javax.xml.ws.Endpoint class in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar.
This is a new class introduced in JAX-WS 2.1.
Now after you've installed Java SE U4, you can download
Metro 1.1,
set JAVA_HOME to point to this new Java SE installation and you can
easily import a WSDL as:
wsimport -d temp
http://localhost:8080/MetroWithJavaSE6/HelloService?WSDL
parsing WSDL...
generating code...
compiling code...
If you try to import the same WSDL with an earlier release of Java SE 6, then you'll see the error message:
You are running on JDK6 which comes with JAX-WS 2.0 API,
but this tool requires JAX-WS 2.1 API. Use the endorsed standards override
mechanism (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/standards/), or
use -Xendorsed option.
We hope this will make your life simpler :)
Metro 1.0.1 is anyway baked in GlassFish v2 UR1. You can override it with Metro 1.1 as described in TOTD #21.

I was waiting for it for several months!!! I'm happy you didn't wait for update n for this. By the way is there still the difference between PrefixMapper in Jax-ws RI and "JDK" jax-ws? I mean the "internal" package. Thank you.by jitu - 2008-01-25 14:10
Do you mean NamespacePrefixMapper ? Can you give the full class name.
