Body
I am in a situation where I need to expose a Java method as a web service, and I need to choose the technology to do so and I am basically a bit bewildered. The requirements are: <ul> <li>Must be runnable in an IBM Java 5.</li> <li>Must be deployable as a web application inside an embedded Jetty (currently version 6)</li> <li>Must be detachable from an IDE (has previously used the XFire in MyEclipse 5, I'd like a stand-alone version)</li> <li>Must be well supported, reasonably fast, and preferrably Open Source.</li> <li>Would be really really nice if it was simple to use.</li> </ul> I've seen a multitude of possibilities, CFX (and XFire), Axis 1 and 2, Netbeans 6 (wants Glassfish), JAX-WS (apparently have features with Java 6 which are nice but probably not an option unless it can be retrocompiled), JDeveloper has something, and Eclipse, and I have a hard time getting enough information to make a decision. I'd appreciate pointers, experiences, recommendations and warnings. <hr> The chosen approach is to use Metro 1.4 which works well. <hr> I have told others about my experiences with it in <a href="http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/200902/msg00074.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/200902/msg00074.html</a> and in more detail on <a href="http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/200904/msg00071.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/200904/msg00071.html</a> The information is valid for any Servlet 2.4 compatible container (this is probably the most important single technological decision taken in the whole Metro project IMHO :) )

1. COJAX-WS is a specification and JAX-WS RI is one of its implementations. Note that Java 6 SE includes JAX-WS (the Sun JRE uses JAX-WS RI for that), but nothing stops you from using JAX-WS in Java 5 (earlier versions won't work since JAX-WS requires annotations).

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
