EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/AdvancedJavase6Containerless
DBWS Services running 'containerless' using the Endpoint API
It is possible to run a Web service using Javase 6's "containerless" javax.xml.ws.Endpoint API.
Javase 6 ships with the JAX-WS 2.x APIx inside the JDK - versions prior to update 4 have JAX-WS 2.0 APIs, which may cause some issues with later API requirements: to fix this, copy jaxws-api.jar and jaxb-api.jar into the endorsed directory (typically $JAVA_HOME/lib/endorsed or $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed). Please see this link for more details.
DBWSBuilder javase packager
When invoked from the command-line, the DBWSBuilder offers out-of-the-box support for building and packaging DBWS Services for either the WebLogic server or for running 'containerless' using the javax.xml.ws.Endpoint API

The content of the .jar file is arranged differently from how the wls packager builds a .war file:
