Sun Outpaces Industry in Web Services Innovation with New Java Web Services Developer Pack

May. 27, 2004 12:00 AM

Sun Microsystems has announced the newest version of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP). The new Java WSDP version 1.4 helps enable developers to more rapidly build and deploy secure and interoperable Web services.

With 1.2 million downloads to date, the Java WSDP from Sun is one of the most popular toolkits for accelerating development of secure and interoperable Web services applications. Java WSDP 1.4 gives developers access to essential Web services standards, including SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, and XML. Most importantly, the Java WSDP 1.4 has been enhanced to support the latest Web services security standards and WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 with Attachments Profile 1.0.

The Java WSDP 1.4 also provides support for a full implementation of the OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) specification, providing message level security for SOAP. This technology helps allow developers to build reliable Web services, including XML digital signature (JSR105), XML message encryption and authentication for Web services applications.

The Java WSDP 1.4 will support a broader set of Web containers, allowing choice and flexibility for developers. In addition to Apache Tomcat, developers will be able to deploy to the Sun Java System Application Server and the Sun Java System Web Server. Java WSDP 1.4 will be available for download in mid-June from the Sun Developer Network site.
