SOAP WS
No direct impact from EE6, but some related issues, all owned by Jeff:
- Web Applications in all tutorials possibly create in EE6 instead of EE5, archive EE5 vers of tutorial and link to same. Test to see impact.
- Unknown impact of change to JAX-WS 2.2. Probable code example changes.
- Unknown impact of change to JAXB 2.2. Update Binding WSDL to Java with JAXB?
- Unknown scope or impact of "Metro 1.4 library upgraded to Metro 2.0 and used instead of JAX-WS where appropriate" Update Advanced Web Service Interoperability? Will MTOM finally work again for multi-part Passing Binary Data in SOAP (the Flower App) tutorial?
- Rewrite the multi-part Flower App tutorial to use EJB inside Web App instead of clunky and complicated separate EJB project referenced from Enterprise App project. Retire 6.5/6.7 tutorial and sample. IMO does not have to be done by FCS but would be nice.
RESTful WS
No direct impact from EE6, but some related issues, all owned by Jeff:
- Unknown impact of change to JAX-RS 1.1. Probable code example changes.
- Replace Creating and Consuming RESTful Web Service jMaki Components, since we do not really support jMaki, with tutorial based on Message Board sample in NB distro
Software as a Service
No direct impact from EE6 but all Zembly tutorials to be retired
