SpringOne08: Spring Web Services

Read the interesting (IMNSHO) bits below.

Spring Web Services is Contract-First.

Tools for contract infering from an xml instance:
Trang, XMLSpy, Microsoft XML to Schema (and an additional: Oxygen XML does that if I remember well). Why isn't there a java library for that (for use in IDEs and scripts)?

(Of course) contract first is really a good practice, and schemas (once you get to know them) are really a very expressive language for message content description.

New in Spring Web Services 1.5:
- JMS and Mail transports (a bit of overlap with Spring Integration... though this may merge sooner or later).
- WSS4J support (including client-side)
- WS-Addressing support
- OSGI Bundles
