Using JAX-WS with the Salesforce.com API
by Peter Dapkus on May 11, 2007 at 03:59 PM
In Java 6, Sun began shipping a web service stack with the Java SDK. The stack is the Reference Implementation of JAX-WS, the new JCP standard API for web services. During our first look at 2.0 last year, we found a few issues with the RI (e.g. no support for compression). Since then, the folks at Sun have been working with us to make sure that the JAX-WS RI would work seamlessly with the Salesforce.com API.
As of this week, with the release of JAX-WS 2.1, it does.
Sun was also kind enough to put together a QuickStart package for us, which you can now find over at our Wiki: JAX-WS QuickStart. Check it out!
We haven't run our own tests yet, but the reports we've heard on it's performance so far are promising. The combination of a high performance web service stack with a standards based API that ships in the JDK has some real appeal.
If you have any experience working with the JAX-WS RI, we'd love to your hear your thoughts in the comment section below.

Any update on JAX-WS support for Salesforce Partner WSDL? Is it ready for use by developers? Is so, some example docs would be of great help. Thanks, Baldeep.

I have used JAX-WS within NetBeans 6.0 to create a small gui application.
There were issues with describeSObjectLayout regarding some sort of name collision when consuming the partner wsdl that I could not solve. Thankfully I didn't need that call for my app.
It was relatively straightforward to get working. Seems to have good performance.

Google and SalesForce.com now have teamed up to fight Microsoft. The need for more solid online applications. Now Google is gonna integrate its online office suite (Google Docs, Google Spreadsheet etc) with SalesForce’s online CRM (Customer Relationship Management) application. Google and Salesforce can’t seem to get enough of each other over a series of announcements the companies have aligned their product strategies more and more closely over time.
