<h3><a name="jibxsoap-intro">What is JibxSoap?</a></h3>


<p>JibxSoap is a SOAP web services framework built around JiBX data binding. It
provides the same advantages of flexibility and performance to developers
implementing web services as the base JiBX project does for ordinary XML data
binding. JibxSoap is designed around the latest web services interoperability
recommendations, which lets it provide these advantages while still allowing
for very easy configuration and deployment.</p>

<p>Many other SOAP web services frameworks are available for Java, including the
popular Apache Axis implementation of the JAX-RPC standard for web services in
Java. JibxSoap differs from these other frameworks in that it's designed from
the start to support document/literal (doc/lit) web services rather than the
older rpc/encoded (rpc/enc) style. This is an important distinction - the
rpc/enc approach allows developers to easily expose simple method calls as web
services, but creates problems for interoperability, especially with more
complex data structures. Because of these problems, rpc/enc has been effectively
deprecated by recommendations such as the Web Services Interoperability
Organization's Basic Profile (WS-I BP), and replaced by the doc/lit approach.</p>

<p>The doc/lit approach to web services focuses on the actual XML data being
exchanged. Rather than model method calls with parameters encoded in XML, the
doc/lit approach uses W3C XML Schema definitions to fix the XML data formats.
It's up to the participants in a web services interaction to process the XML
payload of doc/lit SOAP messages in whatever manner is appropriate to their
needs.</p>

<p>This focus on the XML formats is what allows JibxSoap to apply the power of
JiBX data binding to doc/lit web services. JiBX is designed to support fast and
flexible conversions between XML and Java objects. With doc/lit web services the
contents of SOAP messages are just XML document fragments, which can be
converted to and from Java objects using JiBX just the same as any other XML.
All that's needed to support this is a framework that handles the SOAP wrappers
and actual transport, which is what JibxSoap provides.</p>

<p>In benchmark tests to date JibxSoap provides at least 2 to 4 times the
performance of the JAX-RPC reference implementation for doc/lit web services,
and 2 to 5 times the performance of Axis for doc/lit web services using either
direct handling or Castor data binding.</p>
