Upgrading Your Java EE Applications 4-7
■
For most OC4J Web services applications, this means upgrading from OC4J JAX-RPC Web services to Oracle WebLogic Server JAX-RPC Web services. In
general, the JAX-RPC upgrade process consists of re-generating the Java artifacts on Oracle WebLogic Server to the identical underlying Java business logic using
Oracle WebLogic Server Web services tooling.
■
If you are using an older release of OC4J, where Web services standards did not exist within Java EE, Oracle recommends that you upgrade to the Java EE 5.0
standard JAX-WS on Oracle WebLogic Server.

4.6.2 Generating Oracle WebLogic Server Web Services From an OC4J WSDL
For absolute fidelity to a specific OC4J Web services public API its WDSL, you also can regenerate the Web services on WebLogic Server from the OC4J WSDL and deploy
the resulting Web service on WebLogic Server. This process is referred to as the top-down approach to developing Web services.
After producing the equivalent and deployable Web service artifacts on Oracle WebLogic Server, you can then apply the equivalent quality of service QOS
capabilities, such as WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging as a secondary administrative operation.
4.6.3 Web Services Specifications Supported by OC4J and Oracle WebLogic Server
Table 4–4 compares the Web services standard specifications supported by OC4J and
Oracle WebLogic Server. Note that Oracle WebLogic Server supports all of the Web services standards and specifications supported by OC4J, except for WS-Reliability.
Note that this table is provided for comparison purposes only. For the most up-to-date information about the standards supported by Oracle WebLogic Server, refer to the
Oracle WebLogic Server documentation and to the Oracle WebLogic Server information available on the Oracle Technology Network OTN.
