The JAX-WS API interfaces and classes are classified into the following APIs:

• Client API
  The client API is used with the dispatch-based or API-based Web Service client. The stub-based Web Service client uses the service classes and stubs generated with commands to access the Web Services, so the client API is not used.
  
• Service API
  The service API is used for coding the advanced implementation in a Web Service. You use a service API to prepare a complex functionality, such as the Web Services and handlers that use the provider implementation class.
  
• Core API
  The core API is available with both, Web Services and Web Service client. The core API contains the Holder class for storing the inout and out parameters or exceptions.
  

The following table describes a list of JAX-WS API interfaces and classes. The operations are not guaranteed if you use interfaces and classes that are not supported by the Cosminexus JAX-WS functionality to develop a Web Service.
