Spring 3.0 and SOAP - What's best practice?

Question

I'm reimplementing a web app in Spring, and I need to expose the business logic with SOAP. I'm going for Spring 3.0, and I'd like to know: what is the recommended way of exposing Spring beans? The rest of my stack is Tomcat 6, JDK 1.6, Struts 2.

Cheers

Nik

Answer 1

You can use Spring WS if you are using Spring 3. The Spring folks prefer contract first web services which is outlined in the tutorial.

Alternately, Jersey-WS is really good for REST based web services.
