I know almost nothing about jax-ws, but I do know axis2 implements this standard. You can find more info here: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_4_1/jaxws-guide.html As for features, this doc is slightly dated (the jax-ws support is prime time now for example), but anyways it may also be helpful in showing the state of various webservice stacks: http://wiki.apache.org/ws/StackComparison - R
