Package com.sun.xml.ws.transport.local Description

Transport implementations that work inside the single JVM. Useful for testing.

Transports implemented in this package work off the exploded war file image in the file system — it should have the same file layout that you deploy into, say, Tomcat. They then look for WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml to determine what services are in the application, and then deploy them in a servlet-like environment.

This package comes with two transports. One is the legacy "local" transport, which effectively deploys a new service instance every time you create a new proxy/dispatch. This is not only waste of computation, but it prevents services of the same application from talking with each other.

The "in-vm" transport is the modern version of the local transport that fixes this problem. You first deploy a new application by using InVmServer, obtain its address, configure the JAX-WS RI with that endpoint, then use that to talk to the running service.
