GlassFish Metro
Metro is an opensource web service stack that is a part of the GlassFish project, though it can also be used in a
stand-alone configuration. [1] Components of metro include JAXB RI, JAX-WS RI, SAAJ RI, SJSXP, and WSIT. It
is available under the CDDL and GPLv2 (with classpath exception.) [2]
It is supported by Sun Microsystems.
History
Originally, the Glassfish project developed two semi-independent project :
• JAX-WS RI, the Reference implementation of the JAX-WS specification
• WSIT, a Java implementation of some of the WS-* and an enhanced support for interoperability with the .NET
Framework. It is based on JAX-WS RI as "Web Service layer".
In June 2007, it has been decided to bundle these two components as a single component named Metro[3].
Market share
Metro is bundled with Java SE 6 in order to allow consumers of Java SE 6 to consume Web Services [4]
Metro is bundled with numerous Application Servers [5] such as :
• GlassFish
• Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.x
• Oracle WebLogic Server
• JBoss (as of version 5.x)
• TmaxSoft JEUS 6.x
The JAXB reference implementation developed for Metro is used in virtually every Java Web Services framework
(Apache Axis2, Codehaus XFire, Apache CXF) and Application Servers.
