JAX-WS wsgen and wsimport tools were designed to generate portable artifacts so that those artifacts can be use with any JAX-WS vendor runtime also these tools distribute as a part of JDK. Traditionally Axis2 does not provide any JAX-WS tools, instead it's possible to execute artifacts generated by wsgen and wsimport tools within Axis2. Recently number of users are requested to enable JAX-WS processing through Axis2 tools such as WSDL2JAVA and JAVA2WSDL. Starting from 1.7.0 version Axis2 provides first class JAX-WS processing support for both WSDL2JAVA and JAVA2WSDL tools. Also it's possible use wsgen and wsimport tools with Axis2 in the usual manner.
There is a new command line option introduced as "jws" that enables switching between Axis2 native processing and JAX-WS processing. Once the "jws" option available the tool will switch to JAX-WS processing from default Axis2 native processing .
To provide other input options it is possible to use some of the existing WSDL2JAVA/JAVA2WSDL options or possible to use wsgen/wsimport options if those option names are not conflict with Axis2 tools option names. If such option name conflict occurs Axis2 option will get the priority.
