1 Introduction

This document is a resource for software developers who program advanced features for WebLogic JAX-RPC Web services. The following advanced features are described.

Table 1-1 Programming Advanced Features Using JAX-RPC

Advanced Feature	Description
Chapter 2, "Invoking a Web Service Using Asynchronous Request-Response"	Invoke a Web service asynchronously.
Chapter 3, "Using Web Services Reliable Messaging"	Create a reliable Web service, as specified by the WS-ReliableMessaging specification, and then create a client Web services that invokes the reliable Web service.
Chapter 4, "Creating Conversational Web Services"	Create a conversational Web service which communicates with a client.
Chapter 6, "Using the Asynchronous Features Together"	Use the asynchronous features, such as reliable messaging, asynchronous request-response, and conversations, together in a single Web service.
Chapter 7, "Using Callbacks to Notify Clients of Events"	Notify a client of a Web service that an event has happened by programming a callback.
Chapter 5, "Creating Buffered Web Services"	Create a buffered Web service, which is a simpler type of reliable Web service that one specified by the WS-ReliableMessaging specification.
Chapter 8, "Using JMS Transport as the Connection Protocol"	Specify that JMS, rather than the default HTTP/S, is the connection protocol when invoking a Web service.
Chapter 9, "Creating and Using SOAP Message Handlers"	Create and configure SOAP message handlers for a Web service.
Chapter 10, "Using Database Web Services"	Create a database Web service using JDeveloper.
Chapter 11, "Publishing and Finding Web Services Using UDDI"	Use the UDDI features of WebLogic Web service.

Note:

The JAX-WS implementation in Oracle WebLogic Server is extended from the JAX-WS Reference Implementation (RI) developed by the Glassfish Community (see https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/). All features defined in the JAX-WS specification (JSR-224) are fully supported by Oracle WebLogic Server.

The JAX-WS RI also contains a variety of extensions, provided by Glassfish contributors. Unless specifically documented, JAX-WS RI extensions are not supported for use in Oracle WebLogic Server.
