Spring Web Services

# Spring Web Services Spring Web Services is a product of the Spring community focused on creating document-driven Web services. Spring Web Services aims to facilitate contract-first SOAP service development, allowing for the creation of flexible web services using one of the many ways to manipulate XML payloads. ## Installation Releases of Spring Web Services are available for download from Maven Central, as well as our own repository, http://repo.springsource.org/release. For Maven users: <repository> <id>repository.spring.release</id> <name>Spring GA Repository</name> <url>http://repo.spring.io/release</url> </repository> ... <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId> <artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId> <version>2.1.4</version> </dependency> ## Snapshots Nightly snapshots of Spring Web Services are available for download from our snapshot repository, http://repo.springsource.org/snapshot.

In the instructions below, [`./gradlew`](http://vimeo.com/34436402) is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. The only prerequisites are [Git](http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect) and JDK 1.7+. ### check out sources `git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-ws.git` ### compile and test, build all jars, distribution zips and docs `./gradlew build` ### install all spring-\* jars into your local Maven cache `./gradlew install` ... and discover more commands with `./gradlew tasks`.
