This document describes the architecture of JAX-WS 2.0 runtime. JAX-WS is the aggregating component of what is called the integrated Stack (I-Stack). The I-Stack consists of JAX-WS, JAX-B, StAX, SAAJ and Fast Infoset. JAX-B is the databinding component of the stack. StAX is the Streaming XML parser used by the stack. SAAJ is used for its attachment support with SOAP messages and to allow handler developers to gain access to the SOAP message via a standard interface. Fast Infoset is a binary encoding of XML that can improve performance.

The remainder of this document will describe the JAX-WS runtime architecture from the client and server perspectives.
