The Application Programming Interfaces in the Java API for XML (JAX) group comprise an integrated tool set for building Web services with Java and XML.

The Java API for XML- based Remote Procedure Calls (JAX-RPC) is the programming model for implementing RPC messaging. Developers can use JAX-RPC for enabling a Web service to make programmatic calls to remote computer resources. Work is in progress to enable interoperation with Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1 via an attachment mechanism in the future.
