what are the web service runtime environments available in IBM WAS Server?

Web services runtime environments

Three runtime environments are available in which Web services can run. Each environment supports different servers and standards.

The following runtime environments are supported for Web service generation:

• IBM® WebSphere® JAX-WS runtime environment
• IBM WebSphere JAX-RPC runtime environment
• Apache Axis 1.4 runtime environment

The IBM WebSphere JAX-WS runtime environment is the strategic Web services runtime supported by IBM. The IBM WebSphere JAX-RPC runtime is a legacy environment which is still supported, however new applications should use JAX-WS whenever possible. The Apache Axis 1.4 runtime is an open source runtime supported by the tools, however it is not recommended for use in a production environment.
