Java-based web services support is built into Sun ONE Application
Server 7. Out of the box, developers can take advantage of a
deployment ready web services platform based on the new Java
APIs for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC), XML Messaging (JAXM), XML
Parsing (JAXP) and Registry (JAXR) that support the popular
SOAP and UDDI standards. |

Message Queue has also been integrated into Sun ONE Application
Server 7. Applications built using Message Driven Beans and
the JMS API are able to leverage this commercial grade technology. |
