# The State of SOAP / JAX-WS

The latest maintenance release of JSR 224: JavaTM API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0 "SOAP" is 19 Dec, 2011. The actual release happened at 11 May, 2006
In Java EE 7 JAX-WS was one of the few not updated specifications.
They are only two SOAP-related JavaOne 2013 sessions (search for SOAP). The main topic was not SOAP, rather than XML-binding and infiniband transport protocol
Search for SOAP at parleys.com http://www.parleys.com/search/soap and look closer at the topics / contents of the sessions.
XML Encryption Cracked!
The Google Trend for "SOAP Protocol".
Do you know any recent JUG / conference talk about SOAP / JAX-WS?
